Question

the impact of the industrial revolution on families was
positive because when the parents were at work the children attended school
positive because families could spend more time together at work
negative because children could not work to help support their families
negative as families became separated all day

Explanation:

During the Industrial Revolution, families often faced separation as parents went to work in factories (which were typically away from home), and children might also be involved in labor (not attending school as the first option wrongly states). Families didn't spend more time together at work (contradicts the second option). Children did work in many cases (so the third option is incorrect). The separation of family members for long hours (due to work - related absences) was a significant negative aspect, which aligns with the fourth option.

Answer:

Negative as families became separated all day.
