Question

select the correct answer.
what was an effect of population migration during the industrial revolution?
a. increase in literacy
b. growth of cities
c. decrease in agriculture
d. reduction of imports

Explanation:

During the Industrial Revolution, population migration (especially from rural to urban areas) was driven by job opportunities in factories. This led to a large influx of people into urban centers, causing cities to grow. Option A (increase in literacy) is more related to educational reforms, not direct migration effect. Option C (decrease in agriculture) was due to industrialization's impact on farming methods, not migration. Option D (reduction of imports) is about trade, not migration. So the effect of population migration was growth of cities.

Answer:

B. growth of cities
