Question

2 multiple choice 1 point
why were children especially vulnerable to the changes from the industrial revolution?
children started working in cramped quarters at a time when their bodies should have been experiencing the most growth.
children made more than their parents who worked traditional jobs, which upset the power balance and led to abuse.
children started working before they could properly read or speak, so they did not know how the machines worked.
children would stop working to play, which meant their pay was not as high as their parents.

Explanation:

During the Industrial Revolution, child labor was widespread, with children forced to work in cramped, unsafe factory environments during a critical stage of physical growth. This stunted their development and made them highly vulnerable to harm. The other options are incorrect: children earned far less than adults, lack of reading/speaking skills was not the core vulnerability, and children were not allowed to stop working to play.

Answer:

Children started working in cramped quarters at a time when their bodies should have been experiencing the most growth.
