Explanation:

First Question (Simon Bolivar, Jose de San Martin, Toussaint L'Ouverture)

Simon Bolivar, Jose de San Martin, and Toussaint L'Ouverture were key figures in leading independence movements in Latin America. Enlightened despots ruled in Europe (not these figures), they were not inventors of the Industrial Revolution, and not philosophers of the Scientific Revolution.

Great Britain had abundant natural resources (coal, iron) and favorable geography (like access to waterways, ports). It did not have a worker shortage (had a growing workforce), the government did not strictly control business (had a more laissez - faire approach), and it had access to waterways (e.g., rivers for transport).

Severe pollution and dangerous factory working conditions were negative. Production of goods increased (not decreased), urbanization was more of a mixed or seen as positive in some aspects of development (not a negative), and working conditions were poor for most laborers (not improved for all).

Answer:

B. Leaders of Latin American independence movements.
