1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
[10 marks]
The machines produced goods very fast and did the work of dozen of men at the same time. As a result,
the factories were able to produce cheap goods. For example, the big cloth factories produced very cheap
cloth. Of course only rich man or investor could have their own machines and factories. The poor workmen
still weave cloth by hand and they cannot produce cheap cloth. As a result many of them have lost their
work and started working for rich men This is very bad thing. But it is not fault of science, it is fault of the
people who used science only to get profit themselves.
Thus it is clear that we should try to use machines only for good of people
