Answer 2

The correct answer is B. The English author that used his writings to paint a harsh picture of the effects that the Industrial Revolution had on the poorest members of society was Charles Dickens.

Charles Dickens was an English writer and novelist, one of the most recognized of universal literature, and the most outstanding of the Victorian era. He was a master of the narrative genre, to which he printed certain doses of humor and irony, practicing at the same time an acute social critique of the conditions of life of the lower class in the Industrial Revolution.

Dickens' novels were works of social criticism. He was a fierce critic of poverty and the social stratification of Victorian society. Through his works, Dickens maintained an empathy for the common man and a skepticism for the bourgeois family.
