The passage directly states: "Only a small proportion of the total industrial labour force worked in registered factories: 5 per cent in 1911 and 10 per cent in 1931." Students must not confuse the two figures — 5% is for 1911, 10% is for 1931. This is a straightforward fact-based MCQ; citing the correct year is key.
