Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options provided we can say the following.

The details I can provide to support the main idea that the life and work of a small farmer differed from that of an artisan living in a big city is the following.

An artisan in colonial American times could specialize in a single job to perform it to the best of its capabilities. This allowed him and his family to make a decent living in the city. On the other hand, colonial farmers lived in the country, not in the cities.  They did not need to live in the cities because they were focused on growing the best kinds of crops to trade with other colonies and to export the crops to Europe.

For instance, we have the case of the Middle colonies in North America, also called  "the breadbasket colonies" for the kind of good crops they produce.
