Answer 1

Answer:

C. Most workers faced poor working conditions and were constantly in danger

Explanation:

During the Industrial Revolution, this new type of work was new, factories were being built for the first time and needed workers.

People wanted money and since the demand for workers was high, employers would set wages as low as they could. People could work from 14 to 16 hours a day for usually 6 days a week. The majority of workers were unskilled and received up to 10 dollars a week. It was also normal for children to work during this period and they usually received a very low wage. 

The working conditions were not good, factories usually had low light, they did not have safety precautions which led to many accidents.
