Explanation:

Question 6 (Multiple Answer)

Pecan shellers (often in historical labor contexts, like in the pecan industry) faced issues:

• Low wages: Common in labor-intensive, low - skilled jobs.
• Respiratory issues: Due to dust from pecan shells in poorly ventilated workspaces.
• Poor ventilation: Work environments in shelling facilities were often unregulated, leading to poor air quality.
• Extreme cold is less relevant as pecan shelling is not typically associated with cold - dominant work conditions. So the three are low wages, respiratory issues, poor ventilation.

Historically, the pecan shellers' strike involved around 12,000 workers. This is a known historical labor event detail.

Answer:

A. low wages, B. respiratory issues, C. Poor ventilation
