question 7 of 10
how did the industrial revolution change working conditions for people?

a. machines started to replace workers.
b. more highly skilled workers were needed.
c. workers started their own factories.
d. people were able to ask for better pay.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: During the Industrial Revolution, machines (like in factories) began to replace manual labor, reducing the need for as many workers in traditional roles. This is a key change in working conditions.
• Option B: The Industrial Revolution often required more unskilled workers for factory jobs (e.g., operating simple machinery) rather than highly skilled workers.
• Option C: Workers generally did not start their own factories; factory ownership was dominated by capitalists and business owners.
• Option D: During the early Industrial Revolution, workers had little power to ask for better pay due to long hours, poor conditions, and a large labor supply.

So the correct option is A.

Answer:

A. Machines started to replace workers.
