Model Answer

Women workers in the woollen industry attacked the Spinning Jenny because it reduced demand for manual (hand) spinning labour, threatening to take away their livelihood.

Explanation

The question asks specifically about workers in the woollen industry — the answer must link the attack to fear of job loss due to reduced demand for hand spinning. The source passage clearly states "women who survived on hand spinning began attacking the new machines." One mark, so one crisp line is enough.
