Answer 1

The statements that most accurately reflect how the Industrial Revolution impacted the use of natural resources are:

1. The invention of the steam engine put an increased demand on the production of coal.

2. The production of nonrenewable resources increased as demand for new supplies increased.

These statements highlight the reliance on nonrenewable resources like coal during the Industrial Revolution due to the rise in demand for energy sources for steam power. The other two options do not accurately reflect the context of the Industrial Revolution, as the focus was primarily on nonrenewable resources rather than an increase in renewable resources.
