Question

in what way did the industrial revolution in the u.s. show the success of free market economies? by leading to the creation of a single, government - run company by implementing widespread government control over industries by driving technological innovation and increasing production efficiency by establishing fixed prices for all goods and services

Explanation:

A free - market economy is characterized by minimal government intervention, private ownership, and competition.

• Option 1: A single government - run company is the opposite of a free - market economy (which has private ownership and competition).
• Option 2: Widespread government control over industries is also contrary to the free - market principle of limited government intervention.
• Option 3: In a free - market economy, competition among private enterprises drives technological innovation (to gain a competitive edge) and increases production efficiency (to maximize profits). This was a hallmark of the U.S. Industrial Revolution.
• Option 4: Establishing fixed prices for all goods and services is not a free - market practice. In a free - market, prices are determined by supply and demand.

Answer:

By driving technological innovation and increasing production efficiency
