Question 9 • PA-US History: 1850 to Present A

Which sentence from a summary about the Industrial Revolution should be rewritten to be more objective?

Answer

The growth of factories provided many jobs for unskilled workers, bringing many former agricultural workers to the cities.

Inventions and innovations in manufacturing processes spurred the Industrial Revolution.

You cannot help but admire the factory owners who built entire villages for their workers to live in.

Factories relied on the canals and railroads to bring in their raw materials and transport their products to customers across the country.

Explanation

Sentence C should be rewritten because “You cannot help but admire” expresses a personal opinion rather than an objective fact. The other sentences describe historical developments without telling the reader what to think. A more objective version could say that some factory owners built villages for their workers.
