question 2 (2.5 points)

Explanation:

For Question 1:

• The Industrial Revolution was characterized by technological advancements, not a decline. So "Decline in technology" is incorrect.
• Work and family life were disrupted (e.g., long - working hours in factories, migration from rural to urban areas) rather than stable. So "Stability in work and family life" is wrong.
• Urbanization increased as people moved to cities for factory jobs, and new social problems like overcrowding, poor sanitation, and labor exploitation emerged. "Urbanization and new social problems" is correct.
• Population increased due to better food supply (from agricultural improvements related to the Industrial Revolution) and medical advancements. So "Decrease in population" is incorrect.

For Question 2:

• Sociologists explore contemporary trends. Technological use is increasing, not decreasing. So "The decrease in technological use" is wrong.
• The rise of gig work (short - term, flexible jobs) and remote jobs is a modern trend that sociologists study in terms of labor relations, work - life balance, and social inequality. "The rise of gig work and remote jobs" is correct.
• While there has been a shift from factory jobs in some regions, it is not the main modern trend sociologists focus on in the context of the question compared to gig and remote work. "The decline in factory jobs" is not the best answer.
• Traditional office jobs are becoming less stable with the rise of alternative work arrangements. So "The stability of traditional office jobs" is incorrect.

Answer:

Question 1: Urbanization and new social problems
Question 2: The rise of gig work and remote jobs
