With reference to the Industrial Revolution in England, which one of the following statements is correct?

  • A.Guild System promoted Industrial Revolution.
  • B.Greater production of goods resulted in end of factory system.
  • C.Manufacturing methods also changed the methods of agriculture.
  • D.None of the above.

Answer: C

The correct statement is Manufacturing methods also changed the methods of agriculture.

The machines and techniques of the Industrial Revolution spread to farming: seed drills, iron ploughs, threshing machines and later reapers made agriculture more productive, and the factories needed a steady supply of food and raw materials such as wool.

The guild system restricted production and competition, so it held industrialisation back rather than promoting it. Greater production was the result of the factory system, not the cause of its end. Since one statement is correct, 'None of the above' fails.
