Question

Traders brought together craftspersons under one roof and set up small workshops called _____.

• A. shops
• B. manufactories
• C. stations
• D. warehouses

Answer 1

The correct option is B manufactories

Prior to the Industrial Age, instead of a system where a trader went to the house of each person to procure, process, and sell products, a new system was begun. In this, traders brought together a number of craftspersons under one roof and set up small workshops called manufactories. The craftsmen brought their own tools but worked with the traders' raw materials. This is when traders began establishing their control over workers.
