Explanation:

Question 16

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "Money for investing": New England had merchants with capital to invest in industries, helping fuel the Industrial Revolution.
• "Large cotton plantations": These were in the South, not New England.
• "Trained workers": While workers existed, capital for investment was a key resource.
• "A constant climate": Climate wasn't a primary resource for the Industrial Revolution here.

So the correct option is the one about money for investing.

Analyze each option:

• "Allowed them to earn a living wage until the age of 25": Wages were low and age limits weren't typical.
• "Gave them opportunities not available on family farms": The textile industry (like factory work) offered jobs women and children couldn't get on farms.
• "Permitted them to complete their schooling": Factory work often interrupted schooling.
• "Provided long - term employment even after marriage": Women often left jobs after marriage.

So the correct option is the one about opportunities not on family farms.

Answer:

A. Money for investing (assuming the first option is labeled A, adjust label as per actual, but the content is "Money for investing")
