Answer 1

The most accurate inference about the experience of working in a factory during the Industrial Revolution is:

The conditions were dangerous because of fast-moving machines with no safety mechanisms.

This statement reflects the historical reality of factories during that time, where workers often faced hazardous environments due to unregulated machinery and lack of safety measures. The other options incorrectly suggest that the presence of children and women working in those conditions made them safe, which is contrary to historical accounts of widespread danger and exploitation in factories during the Industrial Revolution.
