What inspired Robert Owen to devote efforts into creating a safer workplace?
A) possible profit from factories
B) articles in the newspaper
C) deplorable factory conditions
D) greedy factory owners
Answer: C
Explanation: Though Owen may have been motivated at least in part by newspaper articles of the time that profiled selfish industrialists, his primary reason for promoting the idea of an idealistic workplace came from observing the less than humane conditions in many factories, making "deplorable factory conditions" the correct response. There is no evidence that personal gain was a motivation for Owen.
