Explanation:

Question 6

To determine which option is not a form of discrimination by factory owners against women, we analyze each choice:

• Option A: Assigning only lowest - skilled jobs to women is a form of discrimination as it limits their career growth based on gender.
• Option B: "No positions of authority" for women means they are excluded from leadership roles due to their gender, which is discrimination.
• Option C: Paying lower wages to women for the same or similar work is a classic form of gender - based discrimination in the workplace.
• Option D: Women earning their own money is not a form of discrimination. It is a result of them being employed and being able to have financial independence, which is not an act of discrimination by factory owners.

To find what caused an increase in jobs for women by the end of the 1800s, we analyze each option:

• Option A: A change in factory owners' attitudes alone may not be the main driver for a large - scale increase in jobs for women.
• Option B: As child labor decreased, there was a need to fill the labor gap. Employers started to hire more women to take up the jobs that were previously done by children. This is a significant factor in the increase of job opportunities for women.
• Option C: Women becoming more educated is more of a long - term factor and may not be the direct cause of an immediate increase in job availability in the 1800s.
• Option D: If fewer men were working, it is not clear that this would directly lead to more jobs for women. There could be other economic or social factors at play, and this is not a well - established cause for the increase in women's jobs in the 1800s.

Answer:

D. earned their own money
