2. most british people emigrated to the united states and canada during the early 1800s.
3. britain became more urbanized and its population grew during the early 1800s.

7. had many crowded urban slums with poor sanitation
8. had electric street cars and streetlamps thanks to the second industrial revolution
9. had little to no air and water pollution
10. had no access to the british railway system

Explanation:

For question 12:

• Looking at the maps, the shaded areas (indicating higher population density) increase from 1801 to 1851. This shows urbanization as more people are in areas that are likely cities (implied by population density increase).

For question 13:

• During the early 1800s (before the Second Industrial Revolution which was later in the 1800s), cities like London, Birmingham, and Liverpool were growing rapidly. With rapid urban - growth and lack of proper urban planning at the time (early industrialization phase), crowded urban slums with poor sanitation were common. Electric street - cars (related to Second Industrial Revolution) were not there yet. Air and water pollution was a problem (so option 3 is wrong). And these cities were part of the railway network (so option 4 is wrong).
