Question

read the paragraph. before the industrial revolution, most goods were made by hand, in peoples homes. workers would buy raw materials and complete each step in the process to make a finished product. manufacturing by hand took a long time, and therefore, the prices for finished goods was high. industrialization changed all that. machines took over the manufacturing process. these machines were much more efficient than workers creating items by hand. this meant that many more items could be produced, drastically reducing their price, and making them more affordable for consumers. which would be the best example to use to support the information in this body paragraph? the price of cotton cloth declined more than 50% from 1700 to 1800. the price of shoes doubled from 1700 to 1800. fewer people owned firearms in 1800 than in 1700. fewer people lived in rural areas in 1800 than in 1700.

Explanation:

The paragraph focuses on the impact of the Industrial Revolution on manufacturing, specifically how industrialization made production more efficient, increased output, and reduced prices of goods. The decline in the price of cotton cloth by more than 50% from 1700 - 1800 is an example of the price - reducing effect of industrialization.

Answer:

The price of cotton cloth declined more than 50% from 1700 to 1800.
