Answer 1

"A great wave of industrial growth spread across the Western world at the end of the nineteenth century. When inventors figured out how to mass-produce steel relatively cheaply, tall buildings rose toward the sky, mighty bridges spanned great rivers, and factories sprouted up. An ever-growing number of powerful machines used the newly harnessed power of electricity and petroleum to transport people and churn out mass-produced goods."
