OG Reading Practice Set 5 Page80的第五题

Paragraph 4: The first generation to experience these changes did not
adopt the new attitudes easily. The factory clock became the symbol of
the new work rules. One mill worker who finally quit complained
revealingly about "obedience to the ding-dong of the bell-just as
though we are so many living machines." With the loss of personal
freedom also came the loss of standing in the community. Unlike artisan
workshops in which apprentices worked closely with the masters
supervising them, factories sharply separated workers from management.
Few workers rose through the ranks to supervisory positions, and even
fewer could achieve the artisan's dream of setting up one's own
business. Even well-paid workers sensed their decline in status.

○Contact among workers who were not managers

答案是4，答案的解释是The paragraph explicitly contradicts this by stating that "factories sharply separated workers from management."

    
我没有看懂，为什么a loss of Contact among workers who were not managers 会和factories sharply separated workers from management是对立关系的。
我的理解是：
a loss of Contact among workers who were not managers 工人们的互相接触变少了， who were not managers是修饰workers;

factories sharply separated workers from management 工厂将工人和管理区分开来。

这两点不是同一个内容但至少不对立，还大家我解惑，谢谢！

工厂sharply seperated workers from management, 但是并没有提到seperated workers from other common workers啊，所以它不是new systems 得consequence拉。

注意是except

其他3各原文都有叙述的

非常感谢你的解答
虽然你说的排除法对做这题很有道理，不过好像还是没有解释我的疑惑。
我是觉得OG的解题说明
The paragraph explicitly contradicts this by stating that "factories sharply separated workers from management."
这里的contradict这个关系我有点不明白
