Answer 1

The correct statement about the experiences of the urban working class during the Industrial Revolution is:

B. Men, women, and children all needed to work to earn money that families needed for rent, food, and clothing.

During the Industrial Revolution, many families relied on multiple income earners, including men, women, and children, to meet their basic needs. The other statements are not accurate representations of the typical experiences of the urban working class during this time.
