The test gives us three reasons for the development from the cottage production to the factory-based industry. However, the lecture disagrees with these reasons and fights them one by one in detail.
First, the advances in technology are not the major course for the change from cottage production to a factory-based industry. As the concern of the factory-based industry is to hire more workers and produce more products. The steam engines were only in the thoughts of the factory owners when these industries began, countless of the cottage machine. However, the passage directly relates these two events together as they were happened in the same period.
Secondly, the legal system change in UK is not necessarily the course of the cottage industry. As the legal protection for private property also established in Holland, however, the cottage factory did not begin there. On the contrast, the test thinks the new law prompted the shift from the cottage production to factory production.
In the end, the test thinks that the desire to reduce production costs helped the establishment of the factory production. However, the lecturer argues that the building of the factory cost a lot of money and may raise the expense. So it is not a reason for the switch.
In a word, the reasons summarized by the test are not proper in the view of the lecturer.
