Question

from the young breadwinners
the lawmakers and the teachers in georgia could vote, would the georgia legislature have repealed at every session for the last three years to stop the abuse of the minds of children under 12 years of age?
shall the new jersey legislature have passed that shameful repeal bill enabling girls of 14 years to work all night, if the mothers in new jersey were disfranchised? can the mothers in the great industrial states are enfranchised be thus, some of us be able to free our consciences from participation in this shame? will any one in this room tonight can feel free from such participation. the children make our shoes in the shoe factories; they knit our stockings . . . in the cotton mills. children braid straw for our hats, they spin and weave the silk and woolen fabrics as well as the hats they stamp buckles and metal ornaments of all kinds, as well as pins and hat pins. under the sweating system, tiny children make our cigarettes and neckwear for us to buy. they carry bundles of garments to the tenements, like beasts of burden, robbed of their childhood, bought and sold for us.
part b
which detail from paragraph 2 best supports the correct answer from part a?

1. \would the new jersey legislature have passed that shameful repeal bill enabling girls of 14 years to work all night, if the mothers in new jersey were enfranchised?\

2.
o one in this room tonight can feel free from such participation.\

1. \children braid straw for our hats, they spin and weave the silk and woolen fabrics as well as the hats\
2. \they stamp buckles and metal ornaments of all kinds, as well as pins and hat pins\

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the relationship between the question in Part A (likely about child labor and women's voting rights impact) and the Part B options:

1. Option 1: References New Jersey’s legislation (repeal bill) and mothers working. If Part A was about stopping child labor via women’s voting (e.g., “Would Georgia teachers voting stop child labor?”), this connects: NJ’s repeal bill let mothers work, implying child labor issues.
2. Option 2: Talks about “no one feeling free” – vague, not direct to child labor.
3. Option 3: Describes children’s labor (braiding straw, weaving) – but Part A likely ties to voting/women’s role, not just labor details.
4. Option 4: Lists goods children make – too general, not linking to voting impact.

Option 1 directly supports a Part A question about legislative changes (repeal bill) and mothers’ work, aligning with the context of child labor and women’s voting power.

Answer:

1. "Would the New Jersey Legislature have passed that shameful repeal bill enabling girls of 14 years to work all night, if the mothers in New Jersey were enfranchised?"
