Answer 1

The statement that best describes an effect of automation is:

"The United States moved from an economy based on industry to one based on services."

Automation has led to increased efficiency and productivity, particularly in manufacturing, contributing to a shift away from industrial jobs toward service-oriented jobs in the economy. The other statements are less accurate or not typically associated with the general impact of automation.
