Question 4 • *FL-2100310-United States History Semester 1
Read the paragraph.The Industrial Revolution produced both positive and negative results. The greatest positive result was that it made many goods more plentiful. This availability, in turn, made the goods cheaper. Factories also created jobs for many people. Even though most of these jobs did not pay well, many people moved to the cities to work. Unfortunately, this led to overcrowding. Equally unfortunately, the same factories that produced jobs also produced pollution.Which of the following lists the pros named in this paragraph?
Answer
A
plentiful goods, cheap goods, more jobs
B
cheap goods, more jobs, pollution
C
poor jobs, cheap goods, plentiful goods
D
poor jobs, overcrowding, pollution
Explanation
The paragraph names three positive results: goods became more plentiful, goods became cheaper, and factories created jobs. Pollution and overcrowding are described as negative results, while low pay is a drawback of the jobs. Therefore, “plentiful goods, cheap goods, more jobs” is the correct list.
