As Great Britain reaped the benefits of its Industrial Revolution:

it tried to keep English inventions and methods to itself

it recruited workers from the United States

it was eager to share ideas with the United States

The correct answer is it tried to keep English inventions and methods to itself

Explanation: The British Industrial Revolution began as a result of a series of economic, social and political factors that occurred in England in the second half of the eighteenth century.

England was a unified country with a relatively stable political situation, free of customs duties, and a well-established insurance system and banking infrastructure.

In the eighteenth century it became a dominant international economic power and accumulated large sums of capital. In addition, the large number of natural ports and navigable rivers, many linked by new channels, meant that domestic and international consumption were easily interconnected.
