Question

in this photo, we see edisons patent drawing for the incandescent electric lamp. how did this invention impact industrialization in the late 19th century? it revolutionized the assembly line. it increased pollution. it created a more dangerous work environment. it made it possible to work longer hours.

Explanation:

The incandescent electric lamp provided artificial light. Before its widespread use, natural light (daylight) was the primary source for work. With electric lighting, factories and workplaces could operate beyond sunset. This extended the working hours as there was no longer a dependence on natural light for visibility. The assembly - line revolution was more related to production methods (e.g., Henry Ford's contributions). While industrialization in general had pollution aspects, the lamp itself was not a direct cause of increased pollution compared to, say, factory smokestacks. And electric lighting actually made work environments safer in terms of visibility compared to dimly - lit spaces with candles or gas lamps.

Answer:

It made it possible to work longer hours.
