The "agricultural revolution" was the enclosing of land to produce smaller estates and smaller profits.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

The agricultural revolution in this context (that is, in the context of 18th century, not the Neolithic Revolution) was the opposite: it was a revolution that lead to bigger estates and bigger profits. It also resulted in some smaller farmers loosing their land and becoming more impoverished.

this is false.

Answer 2

The correct answer is B.

During the agricultural revolution, societies experienced great progress in their productive capacity. They increased the number of cultivated plants, improved their genetic qualities and revolutionized agricultural techniques with the adoption of more efficient methods and tools for soil preparation, transport and storage of crops.

Irrigation and soil fertilization techniques were developed, which ensured increasingly abundant harvests, and as a consequence, higher profits.
