question 5 of 10
which creation of the second industrial revolution negatively affected skilled workers?
a. factories
b. immigrants
c. politicians
d. machines

Explanation:

During the Second Industrial Revolution, machines were created. These machines could perform tasks that previously required skilled workers. As a result, the demand for skilled workers decreased because machines could do the work more efficiently and at a lower cost in some cases. Factories were a place of production but not the direct creation that affected skilled workers in the way described. Immigrants and politicians were not creations of the Second Industrial Revolution in the context of this question.

Answer:

D. Machines
