Read the passage from Charles Dickens's Hard Times.

It contained several large streets all very like one
another, and many small streets still more like one
another, inhabited by people equally like one another,
who all went in and out at the same hours, with the same
sound upon the same pavements, to do the same work,
and to whom every day was the same as yesterday and
tomorrow, and every year the counterpart of the last and
the next.
In this passage, what is Dickens's main criticism of
industrialization?
that it resulted in streets that were not built
thoughtfully.
that it led to air, land, and water pollution.
that it robbed people of their individuality.
that it widened the gap between rich and poor.
