Answer 2

Thank you so much I really appreciate it. I suppose I get really mixed up since in the same sentence in my lessons and on the website too they say "The insatiable demand of the railways for more durable rail led to the development of the means to cheaply mass-produce steel. Steel is often cited as the first of several new areas for industrial mass-production, which are said to characterize a "Second Industrial Revolution," beginning around 1850." I wish I could just chose more than one option... haha. But thanks! I will fo with railroads then.
