question 1 of 10
how did industrialization affect business owners and working - class laborers differently?
a. business owners made profits and benefited from new industrial technologies, while laborers were poorly paid and had limited access to new products.
b. business owners were not required to pay any taxes, while laborers were taxed at high levels to pay for public projects.
c. business owners had access to clean drinking water, while laborers were forced to drink from polluted sources of water.
d. business owners could be either men or women, while laborers worked in mines and factories that did not allow female workers.

Explanation:

Industrialization led to business owners making profits from new industrial technologies. Working - class laborers, on the other hand, faced poor pay and had limited access to new products due to their economic situation. Option B is incorrect as there is no such general rule about business owners not paying taxes and laborers being highly taxed for public projects during industrialization. Option C is too narrow as it focuses only on water access, which is not the main difference in the overall impact. Option D is also incorrect as there were female laborers in mines and factories during industrialization (although they faced discrimination).

Answer:

A. Business owners made profits and benefited from new industrial technologies, while laborers were poorly paid and had limited access to new products.
