Answer 1

C. Industrial espionage brought British technology to the U.S.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first major industrial power was Great Britian. They had many of the first factories (their textile industry boomed). It was during this time when a young man, Samuel Slater, memorized the designs for many factories in Britian. Once he had memorized these designs, he took a steamboat to the U.S. and partnered with the Rhode Island industrialist Moses Brown. By the time of his death, he had built many mills and textile factories.

Answer 2

The period in which the greatest economic or technological progress that occurred in the United States was between the end of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. During this period, the country went from being a simple agricultural economy to the first industrial power in the land.

It was in the second half of the nineteenth century when the first manufactures were created with imports of skilled foreign labor from England.

The answer is: A. Britain supplied a market for American manufactured goods.
