Question

what was one advantage of the division of labor during the growth of industry? workers could do a variety of tasks and take on extra jobs. workers were able to specialize and perform specific tasks. workers began to rely on the government for employment. workers no longer had to depend on entrepreneurs for jobs.

Explanation:

The division of labor in industrial growth involves breaking down production into specific tasks. This allows workers to focus on and become skilled at a particular task (specialization). The first option is incorrect as division of labor reduces task variety for workers. The third and fourth options are not advantages of division of labor; division of labor doesn't relate to government reliance or lessening dependence on entrepreneurs. So the correct option is the one about workers specializing in specific tasks.

Answer:

B. Workers were able to specialize and perform specific tasks.
