Explanation:

First Question:

Industrial literature's factory settings often explore the negative aspects of industrial work. Option a relates to the harsh, dehumanizing conditions typical of such settings. Options b, c, d describe rural/peaceful scenes, not factory themes.

Factory rise and urbanization drew people to cities, creating a new working class (workers in factories). Option a is wrong (population increased), c is wrong (innovation grew), d is wrong (rural communities declined).

Dickens and Gaskell wrote about industrialization's social impacts, focusing on class conflict and economic disparity (e.g., struggles of workers vs. capitalists). Options a, b, d don't match their focus on hardships and inequality.

Answer:

a. The harsh and dehumanizing nature of industrial work
