Question 6 • LPS US History I (CR) - MP2

Which best describes conditions in factories in the 1800s?

Answer
A
Women and children worked short hours.
B
Working hours were similar to those of today.
C
Workers received frequent holidays.
D
Laborers worked long hours with few holidays.

Explanation

Factories in the 1800s commonly required laborers to work long days, often six days a week, with few holidays or other protections. Therefore, “Laborers worked long hours with few holidays” best describes factory conditions; the other choices incorrectly suggest shorter or modern working hours and frequent time off.
