Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Members of the new industrial entrepreneurial class in the mid nineteenth century often came from the professional and middle classes. They were not typically from the lower classes and were able to amass great wealth, which contradicts options D and E. Option A is incorrect because the Industrial Revolution was already underway by the mid-nineteenth century, and option B is not entirely accurate because while the entrepreneurial class did contribute to the growth of large corporations, they were not solely responsible for their dominance by 1850.
