The correct answer for 1 is B) the internal combustion engine

Steam powered engine was used in the era before. When the internal combustion engine was created, it revolutionized the industry because there was no longer need for water to provide steam which meant that with enough fuel the factories could operate anywhere. In addition, the internal combustion engine was more efficient when it came to providing energy.

The correct answer for 3 is 
D) to improve their working conditions 

The industry business was dreadful at the time.

The correct answer for 4 is 
B) new sewer systems decreased death rates

Sewer systems were only existing in larger and richer cities and only in some parts. The second industrial revolution made it possible to increase the size of the sewage system and cover huge amounts of land, even in more rural areas. This led to a decrease in death rates because the hygiene increased immensely.

It was more durable and of higher quality and is still used today.

The correct answer for 7 is 
B) big business consolidated similar businesses and fired many workers who were no longer necessary

This is how original monopolies started forming and a huge amount of wealth started amassing in the hands of a smaller elite. These monopolies enabled them to exploit the workers as much as they wanted since the workers didn't have an option to work somewhere else in the same branch of industry so they had to work in terrible conditions.

The correct answer for 8 is 
D) cities grew rapidly as people moved from rural areas to work in the industry

People didn't want to work in the agriculture anymore because the industry business was bringing more wealth. They started moving to cities and the cities started growing at an unprecedented pace because factories started opening more and more and they required workers all the time in order to fulfill the high demand for products.

The correct answer for 9 is 
B) the desire of middle class for parks, department stores, and wider streets 

The people who lived in cities didn't want to have slums anymore so the urban architects started creating  things like public parks or huge wide streets and with the invention and spread of electrical power it all became lit up and looked great compared to how it was before they started appealing for it.
