Question

Which of the following serious problems did England encounter as cities became industrialized? Select all that apply.

1-pollution
2-the plague
3-slums
4-decrease in literacy
5-decline of urban population

Answer 1

1 and 3 for sure
The plague occurred well before industrialization and the population increased.
I'm not sure about literacy-- it may have decreased as more children began to work in factories (industrialization led to increased child labor.)
