Question

In the question given below, a passage is given followed by three statements which may or may not be inferred from the passage. Select the correct combination of statements that can be inferred. The Industrial Revolution introduced mechanized manufacturing and the factory system, shifting production away from small-scale artisanal workshops.

In Northern England, parliamentary reports from the 1830s documented the systematic use of punitive fines and physical discipline to ensure that workers met strict production quotas, effectively stripping them of their autonomy.
