Question

match the items.
a. factory buildings
b. driving force
c. machines

1. fill in the blank: machines are the __________ of the industrial revolution.
2. what were designed to speed up the process of textile manufacturing?
3. what would alter our lives forever, because they created a workplace that set our lives to bells and schedules and allowed our lives are dictated by our employers.

Explanation:

Question 1

To determine the correct match, we analyze the context. The Industrial Revolution was driven by machines, so "driving force" (b) is the appropriate term here as it describes the role machines played in propelling the Industrial Revolution.

Textile manufacturing during the Industrial Revolution was sped up by the invention and use of machines (c). Factory buildings (a) are workplaces, not the tools that sped up manufacturing, and "driving force" (b) is a more abstract concept. So machines are what were designed for this purpose.

Factory buildings (a) created the workplace with set schedules (bells, employer - dictated lives). Machines (c) are tools, and "driving force" (b) is not a physical workplace. So factory buildings are what altered lives by creating this type of workplace.

Answer:

b. Driving force
