Question 2 • CA-Expository Reading and Writing B

Which of these statements about young enslaved children was true of the time?

Answer
A
They were able to work long hours alongside older children.
B
They worked in the fields because there was no other work.
C
They had less work than older enslaved people.
D
There was much work to be done in addition to field work.

Explanation

Young enslaved children generally did less work than older enslaved people because they were too young for the same long, demanding labor. Older children and adults could work longer hours, often in the fields or in other jobs. So the true statement is that young children had less work than older enslaved people.
