A Nation Divided

Question 1 • Fall 24 US History B IC

Think about all the ways the slaughterhouses’ moving assembly lines could help Ford’s business. Check all the statements that apply.

Answer
A
Ford would need more highly skilled workers.
B
Ford’s costs would drop and cars would become less expensive.
C
The line could bring cars to workers, rather than workers moving to cars.
D
Workers would only need to be taught one task, not many tasks.
E
Ford would end up producing cars more slowly.

Explanation

A moving assembly line lets each worker repeat one specialized task, so workers need less training in many different jobs; this makes D correct. Bringing the car to the worker, as in C, also reduces time spent moving around. Faster, more efficient production lowers Ford’s costs and can make cars less expensive, so B is correct. The line would not require more highly skilled workers or make production slower.
