Explanation:

Samuel Slater was an English - born American industrialist. He is known as the "Father of the American Industrial Revolution." In 1789, he emigrated to the United States and brought with him the knowledge of textile manufacturing machinery and processes that were then the secrets of the British textile industry. At that time, Britain had strict laws against the export of textile manufacturing technology. Slater's actions helped establish the textile industry in the United States.
The first option about developing new manufacturing standards for factory workers is not his main contribution. The third option about pioneering the creation of the first locomotive is incorrect. The locomotive was developed by others (such as George Stephenson in the context of early rail transport development).

He brought textile industry knowledge to the U.S.
