Question

the agricultural revolution helped spark the industrial revolution by increasing the amount of food produced and by
increasing the cost of agricultural products.

decreasing the cost of agricultural products.

increasing the number of farmworkers.

decreasing the number of farmworkers.

Explanation:

The Agricultural Revolution introduced innovations (e.g., crop rotation, mechanization) that boosted food production. This surplus reduced food costs, freeing up capital for industrial investment. It also displaced farmworkers (via mechanization), creating a labor pool for factories. The statement needs two correct effects: increasing food production and either lower costs or fewer farmworkers. The option "decreasing the number of farmworkers" aligns with labor displacement, a key link to industrialization.

Answer:

decreasing the number of farmworkers.
