Question

Which statement best describes a difference between upper- and lower-class women during the Industrial Revolution?

A. Upper-class women resisted social changes and reforms, while lower-class women often served as political activists
B. Upper-class women helped their young children find jobs, while lower class women refused to let their children work
C. upper-class women often owned businesses and factories, while lower-class women were not allowed to own property
D. Upper-class women rarely had jobs outside the home, whole lower-class women frequently held factory jobs

Answer 1

(Apex) Upper-class women rarely had jobs outside the home, whole lower-class women frequently held factory jobs.

Answer 2

The answer that seems the best fit for this question is option D "Upper-class women rarely had jobs outside the home, whole lower-class women frequently held factory jobs." Upper class women most likely had husbands who owned factories making them wealthy, but lower class women meaning their poor had jobs at these factories. Women couldn't own land back then therefore it has to be the fourth option.

Hope this helps!
