PASSAGE
In the early 20th century, the assembly line, famously perfected by Henry Ford for automobile manufacturing, revolutionized industrial production. This system involved breaking down the complex process of building a car into a series of small, repetitive tasks. Each worker was assigned a single task, which they performed over and over as the vehicle moved past them on a conveyor belt. While this method dramatically increased efficiency and lowered costs, making cars affordable for the average person, it also had a significant social impact. The work was often monotonous and physically demanding, and it stripped workers of the traditional skills and autonomy associated with craftsmanship.
An essay argues that the assembly line, despite its economic benefits, had a negative effect on the nature of work for employees. Which sentence from the passage best supports this argument?
