D. work days that could last over 14 hours

Answer 1

The correct answer is letter A

The Industrial Revolution was a milestone for the devaluation of manual labor, as many were replaced by machines, and those who worked at the factory, only participated in a certain phase of production. The factories were not suitable working environments, they had terrible lighting and ventilation conditions.

Answer 2

The right choice is:

B. workers felt safe and were valued by the owners of the company they worked for.

Step-by-step explanation:

The beginning of the industral revolutions was a hard time for workers everywhere. They were ruthlessly exploited by factory owners. The work day was very long, often lasting more than 14 hours, sometimes 20 hours. Workers had no legal labor rights, could not organize in unions and didn´t enjoy insurance. Safety standards in factories were very low or inexistent, that was not an employer´s concern.
