Lesson 1: The Industrial Age

Question 3 • 670201 World History S1 – MYERS, JOSHUA A

During the Agricultural Revolution, what was the main advantage of tenant farming rather than moving to the city for work?

Answer
A
Tenant farmers could use a skill they already had rather than starting over.
B
The future lay in farming instead of in the types of jobs people could find in cities.
C
Landowners gave tenant farmers large plots of land for their personal use.
D
Tenant farmers managed other workers but did not have to do manual labor.

Explanation

Tenant farming let people continue working in agriculture, using farming skills they already had. Moving to a city would mean seeking a different kind of work and potentially learning new skills. The main advantage was therefore making use of familiar skills, not receiving large plots of land or avoiding manual labor.
