a, the working class expanded

Answer 2

a. Eliminated the need for a poor, working class

Step-by-step explanation:

Industrial life did not eliminate the need for a poor, working class. Actually, it created a poor industrial working class that was necessary for the development of the capitalist system as we know it. The Industrial Revolution started at the end of the 18th century in England and Europe and developed in different stages through the 19th and 20th centuries, until our days in the 21st century, and it expanded throughout the world. This process was a technological, economic, and social transformation that consisted in the development of a manufacturing economy that replaced the previous subsisting agricultural economy, and it required a large number of workforce in order to produce new industrial goods. For this reason, industrial life created a large and poor working class that was necessary for the success of industrial capitalism.
