Question

According to "The Industrial Revolution," what is a logical conclusion that can be made about the Industrial Revolution's impact on cities in Europe and the United States?

A.
The opportunity for jobs and wages caused people to move to cities, so cities grew in population at this time.

B.
During the Industrial Revolution, people moved away from rural areas, so cities grew and became crime-ridden.

C.
In a response to the poor living and working conditions, unions began to take over the running of cities that had factories.

D.
Factories were built where farms had previously been, so new cities grew across the nations.

Answer 1

A

The Industrial Revolution created many factory jobs and higher wages in urban areas, which drew people from rural areas and caused city populations to grow. The other choices add unsupported or inaccurate claims (crime becoming universal, unions running cities, or factories simply replacing farms).
