Question 6 • United States History

Which of these was a major contributor to the Second Industrial Revolution?

Answer
A
the use of old forms of technology
B
the decline of the banking industry
C
the construction of thousands of roads
D
the creation of new business models

Explanation

The Second Industrial Revolution grew through large-scale industry and new ways of organizing businesses, such as corporations and trusts. These new business models helped companies raise capital and expand production. The creation of new business models is therefore the major contributor; a decline in banking would have limited industrial growth, not fueled it.
