Answer to Q2 is B
Right.
To answer the first question, legislators supported industrial prisons after realizing that the prisons were making a profit (option B). This information can be found by researching the history and reasons behind the support for industrial prisons.
For the second question, the entity with the most discretionary power to dismiss or reduce charges prior to the trial is prosecutors (option B). Prosecutors have the authority to decide which charges to bring against a defendant and whether to proceed with the case or dismiss/reduce the charges based on their evaluation of the evidence and the circumstances surrounding the case. To confirm this answer, one can refer to legal resources, textbooks, or consult experts in the field of criminal law.
