Question 20(Multiple Choice Worth 5 points)

(04.03 HC)

Sonya writes an essay about children in the early 1800s:

Children in the early 1800s faced a lot of hard work. They usually had to help their families with household chores. These chores included gardening, sewing, and caring for other children. When their parents got sick, they had to do even more work to help their family meet its needs. Along with these chores at home, most children had long schooldays and a lot of homework.

Which statement corrects a mistake in Sonya's essay?
Few children had to help their families with household chores.
Children were not considered responsible enough to care for other children.
Early American children had lots of time to play and relax.
Most children were unable to attend school or receive an education.

Sonya's essay about the children in the early 1800s presents a picture of the routine the children of that era used to undergo. She has presented the information about their role in the family and around the household chores. The first part of the essay presents the picture that the children were very much involved in the family and the households. The children were more involved in their house more than any other work. At the same time, it is to be noted that the last line of the essay highlights that the children also attended schools and had to do a lot of homework. This line contradicts the essay. From the first part of the essay, the line that may properly conclude the essay would be 'Most children were unable to attend a school or receive an education.'

Answer:

The answer is D.) Most children were unable to attend school or receive an education.

Explanation:

This is because, in the 1800s families that work real hard can't pay for schools and education for their children. Instead, they have to pay for their taxes.

Hope this helps!

Have a great day/night/afternoon!
