Writing Workshop: Summarizing Historical Trends

Question 12 • FL-2100310-United States History Sem 1

Which of the following sentences from a summary about the Industrial Revolution should be rewritten?

Answer
A
The growth of factories provided many jobs for unskilled workers, bringing many former agricultural workers to the cities.
B
Inventions and innovations in manufacturing processes spurred the Industrial Revolution.
C
You can’t help but admire the factory owners who built entire villages for their workers to live in.
D
Factories relied on the canals and railroads to bring in their raw materials and transport their products to customers across the country.

Explanation

A summary should present information objectively rather than include personal opinions. Sentence C says, “You can’t help but admire,” which expresses the writer’s judgment about factory owners. The other sentences describe historical developments in a neutral, factual way, so C should be rewritten.
