2. $\text{B}$

100. $\text{C}$

500. $\text{D}$

Answer 1

option A

• Sentence D introduces the impact of the Industrial Revolution, explaining how independent craftsmen became hired workers.

• Sentence B follows logically by describing workers’ feelings of being part of an impersonal machine, losing their self-respect.

• Sentence C builds on this by mentioning workers’ anger and their turn toward Marx’s philosophy in response to these hardships.

• Sentence A is different—it talks about a "Human Relations revolution," which is a distinct and modern concept rather than a continuation of the historical narrative about the Industrial Revolution.

Thus, the sentence that does not fit the paragraph logically is A.
