Factories and mills in the early nineteenth century employed women and children as well as men. Mark the statement if it is true about women and children in factories and mills.

AMost of the workers in cotton mills were women and children.
BThe number of hours children could work was severely restricted.
CChildren could not work in factories or mills until they were twelve years of age.
DWomen and children earned a fraction of what men were paid.

Verified Answer :

The true statements from the paragraph above is that a)Most of the workers in cotton mills were women and children. However, this is not to erase the fact that men equally worked in these types of factories. There were no workers' rights, meaning that children did not have restricted hours, nor was there an age limit on who was able to work in the factory. Women and children earned the same wage as men.
