Explanation:

Question 49

During the Industrial Revolution, factories were in cities. People left rural areas (country) to move to cities to get factory jobs. The other options are incorrect: moving to the country to avoid factories is wrong; women and children did work in factories; working conditions were poor, not excellent.

Factory and mine owners used children because they could pay them less wages and their small size let them fit into tight spaces in machinery or mines. Other options: children did complain, they don't have better endurance than adults, and union leadership wasn't the main reason for hiring them.

Labor unions were formed by workers to fight for better working conditions, wages, etc. Joining labor unions helped lower - class Britons improve their working conditions. Farming cooperatives are for agriculture, political parties focus on governance, and anarchist organizations don't aim at improving working conditions in a structured way for workers.

Answer:

D. People moved from the country to the cities in order to work in factories.
