Here is the question ..

How did the Enlightenment contribute to the Industrial Revolution?
A) People used technology to create greater prosperity for all.
B) Reasoning was used to solve human problems.
C) Electricity used in the production of material goods.
D) People came to accept that each individual has value.

Enlightenment was the stressing of the importance of reason and using the scientific method. And the industrial revolution was basically manual labour being replaced by machine production.
Im pretty sure its not C or D , but I think A and B are true so im not sure which one to go with ! please help ! :)

I don't like A because most workers certainly didn't prosper.

That leaves B as the best answer.
