Correct choices:
- Interchangeable parts allowed machines to operate when something broke down.
- The spinning Jenny allowed cotton thread to be produced at a faster rate.
Why: The spinning jenny dramatically increased yarn output, enabling much larger-scale textile production. Interchangeable parts made machinery easier and quicker to repair and maintain, reducing downtime and raising factory productivity. The cottage industry was a pre‑industrial system (not a manufacturing advance), and the Bessemer process relates to steelmaking, not textile production.
