Answer 1

The correct answer is "D".

The industrial revolution which occurred in Great Britain in the second half of the 18t century brought a series of massive changes not only in the economy but also in society. The introduction of machines made it possible for less skilled workers such as women and children to work in the factories. This improved the overall economy of households, as more members were economically active.

D. Instead of working together at home, families worked in factories.
