1) = B) The internal combustion engine had the greatest impact on transportation during the Second Industrial Revolution?

2) = D) The factor that caused the population of Europe to soar between the 1800s and 1900s was that medicine advanced, and the death rate fell.  [In addition to medical advances, there were also improvements in nutrition in people's diets and in public sanitation.]

3) = D) Some workers organized unions in order to improve their working conditions

4) = B) One consequence of the Second Industrial Revolution was that new sewer systems built in cities decreased death rates. In Great Britain, for example, Parliament enacted legislation to build a sewerage system in London after the "Great Stink" of 1848, when hot weather caused the smell of human and industrial waste flowing in the River Thames.

5) = C) The use of steel as the primary metal for industry was an advantage the Second Industrial Revolution had over the first (which used iron).

6) = A) Joseph Lister improved standards during the Second Industrial Revolution by his discovery that infections could be prevented with antiseptics. [Fun fact: The antiseptic mouthwash, "Listerine," is named after Joseph Lister.]

7) = D) The changing relationship between business and labor during the 1880s -- especially the decades between 1870 and 1890 in the USA -- saw the assembly line and interchangeable parts decreasing the need for labor, leading to high unemployment rates. Workers were displaced and had to readjust to find new jobs as the industrial scene kept changing.

8) = D) Population distribution changed as a result of the Industrial Revolution in that cities grew rapidly as people moved from rural areas to work in industry.
