Question

what were the two primary drawbacks to the american industrial revolution?
too many immigrants seeking jobs in the united states
it was limited to the east coast
rise of trusts and monopolies

Explanation:

To determine the primary drawbacks of the American Industrial Revolution, we analyze each option:

• "Too many immigrants seeking jobs" was more of a result of industrial growth (need for labor) rather than a drawback of the Industrial Revolution itself.
• "Limited to the east coast" describes the geographic spread, not a drawback in terms of negative impacts.
• "Rise of trusts and monopolies" led to unfair business practices, reduced competition, and exploitation of consumers, which was a major drawback.
• "Poor working conditions" (long hours, low pay, unsafe environments) for workers was a significant negative aspect of the Industrial Revolution.

Answer:

C. rise of trusts and monopolies, D. poor working conditions
