This period saw a lot of urban migration as people, drawn by factory jobs, moved from the country to the city. However, many cities weren’t ready or able to accommodate their growing population. Families often lived in tenements, which were overcrowded apartments, and the living conditions were terrible. Outhouses and toilets often drained to the same water people drank. Diseases like tuberculosis and smallpox spread quickly. Life expectancy was much lower in cities than in the countryside.The photographer Jacob Riis published a book called How the Other Half Lives, showing how bad it was to live in urban slums. Eventually, cities began some of the programs that we are used to today, such as garbage removal and clean water and sewage management to improve the quality of people’s lives. People who moved to cities during the Industrial Revolution most likely _______
lived longer than those who lived in rural areas
became sick less frequently than those in rural area
had better access to factory jobs than those in rural areas.
had cleaner living conditions than those in rural areas.
At the start of the 1700s, most people's day-to-day lives moved slowly. Few people ever left their hometowns.

The technology of the Industrial Revolution turned daily life upside down. It changed how people ate, where they lived and how they worked, traveled, communicated and simply spent their days.Those who lived through the Industrial Revolution most likely ___________
never learned to use any technology
did not see any important historical changes
never did any shopping and always made their own goods
witnessed the development of new technology
