Answer 1

The appropriate choice for the non-event is ...

... A. The costs of sewing machines began to increase.

_____

Answer 2

Answer:

A. The costs of sewing machines began to increase.

Explanation:

The costs of sewing machines did not increase after the introduction of interchangeable parts. Instead, the costs decreased. This is because interchangeable parts made production faster, easier and cheaper. All of this led to a decrease in prices. It also led to the invention of a machine for home use, the mass production of home sewing machines and the increase in sales of home machines.
