The correct answer is Option A) increase their profits in a competitive environment.

By paying low wages, factory owners were able to increase their profits in a competitive environment.

Labor costs made up a large portion of a factory's costs followed by machinery, maintenance and stock.

The easiest way to reduce costs for any factory or business at the time was to simply pay workers poorly. Since there were hardly any legislation for employees, and the fact that unemployment and poverty was very high, factory owners were able to exploit workers in order to make as much profit as they could.

ILL MARK BRAINIEST IF YOU CAN ANSWER ALL OF THESE AND ILL GIVE U A THANKS!!!

Being a sharecropper or raising cotton in 1875 in Mississippi is exhausting, demeaning and destroys personal initiative. Being a share cropper might mean that you will have a little something left over for yourself if you have a very good crop. But without good crops, you will have nothing. My family and I work in the fields from sun up to sundown. We don’t own the land we work on. Our owner lets us grow crops on his land and takes a percentage of any profit. Sometimes we make enough money to have enough to eat and clothe ourselves. But it is more often that we just barely scrimp by. We eat what we can grow and on occasion, we can kill a chicken that we have raised. It is not a life you would wish on anyone.

Which of these sentences creates the best visualization?
MrRa [10]

The answer is: A, Kukulcan created humans using his own blood.

A sentence would be considered to have a good visualization if we obtain set of images about a certain object or situation simply by reading it.

By reading the sentence in option  A, most people would automatically create a depiction of some sort of artwork from human blood. Reading sentence in other options would not create set of images in our head.
