    If you were looking for a job and your time machine took you to the year 1899, what type of job will you be most likely to get?

    • Work on the field

    • Factory work

    • Computer work

    • To work as an actor

    Correct Answer
    A. Factory work
    Explanation
    In the year 1899, computer work did not exist as computers were not invented yet. Similarly, working as an actor would not be a likely job option as the film industry was still in its early stages. While working on the field could be a possibility, the most probable job option would be factory work. During this time, the Industrial Revolution was in full swing, and factories were rapidly expanding, creating numerous job opportunities for individuals seeking employment.
