Final answer:

The statement suggesting Charles Dickens supported the idea that England needed a revolution similar to France's is false. Instead, Dickens advocated for gradual social reforms in England.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that Dickens didn't like the violence of the French Revolution but believed that England needed a similar revolution is false. Charles Dickens was indeed critical of the violence and the terror of the French Revolution, which he depicted in his novel 'A Tale of Two Cities'. He used his works to highlight social injustices and advocate for reform in England, but he did not specifically call for a revolution like that of France's. Instead, he believed in gradual social reforms to address the issues.

Regarding the other exercises provided for reference, Thomas Jefferson's efforts to use economic pressure on Britain and France through measures like the Embargo Act were not successful in solving the conflicts and are therefore considered false. The market revolution in the United States did bring many social and economic changes, making that statement true. John Locke did view the Glorious Revolution as a legitimate change in power, also marking that statement as true.
