Answer 1

the first sentence is correct

Answer 2

"1.Unable to afford nice homes on their small salaries, many factory workers crowded into poor tenement housing facilities. The buildings were crowded, dirty, and poorly ventilated" is the correct response, since the supply or workers was so great during this time--especially in the US--that factory owners only had to pay them very small amounts of money.
