Question

Read the paragraph.

The Industrial Revolution produced both positive and negative results. The greatest positive result was that it made many goods more plentiful. This availability, in turn, made the goods cheaper. Factories also created jobs for many people. Even though most of these jobs did not pay well, many people moved to the cities to work. Unfortunately, this led to overcrowding. Equally unfortunately, the same factories that produced jobs also produced pollution.

Which of the following lists the pros named in this paragraph?
plentiful goods, cheap goods, more jobs
cheap goods, more jobs, pollution
poor jobs, cheap goods, plentiful goods
poor jobs, overcrowding, pollution

Answer 1

The pros would be plentiful goods, cheap goods, and more jobs.

Answer 2

Answer:

plentiful goods, cheap goods, more jobs

Explanation:

The paragraph is organized in a way that the pros are listed first, first the author mentions the "greatest positive result", plentiful goods. This first advantage lead to the second one, as the goods were more available they became cheaper, so cheaper goods is the second one. The third one is derived from the previous ones, as more goods were produced and bought, more factories were needed, and more jobes created. This is the third possitive aspect.

The word "unfortunately" is used to start the list of the cons.
