Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The average size of New England farms increased dramatically is not a reason for the decrease in social and economic mobility on the eve of the American Revolution. In fact, it could have potentially increased mobility for those who owned larger farms.

The other options all contribute to the decrease in social and economic mobility. A) Northern merchants becoming rich may have created a larger divide between the wealthy and poor. B) The diminishing supply of unclaimed land could limit the opportunities for people to own their own land and become independent. C) Hiring out as wage laborers would have limited opportunities for farmers' sons and daughters to gain land or wealth of their own. E) Slavery would have concentrated wealth in the hands of a few plantation owners, limiting opportunities for others.
