Question

the industrialization and the gilded age test
what was life like for factory workers during the industrial revolution?
(1 point)
○ urban workers’ wages were very low and made it difficult to live
○ women were deemed inferior and therefore not allowed to work
○ immigrants struggled to find work because many would not hire them.
○ urban workers often struggled with living far away from city centers

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: During the Industrial Revolution, factory (urban) workers had very low wages, making it hard to afford basic needs. This is accurate.
• Option 2: Women did work in factories (e.g., textile mills), so this is incorrect.
• Option 3: Immigrants were often hired for factory jobs (they were a cheap labor source), so this is incorrect.
• Option 4: Urban workers typically lived near city centers (in tenements) for work proximity, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

A. Urban workers' wages were very low and made it difficult to live
