rking in factories and other industries created the National Child Labor Committee. They wanted to raise the age at which children could be hired. They also sought to lower the number of hours children were allowed to work, because they wanted children to be able to attend school. This committee spoke out, but words were not enough to create change. What conclusion can be drawn by connecting knowledge of the historical time period with information in the text? The use of child labor in factories and other industries was very common. The use of child labor was considered unacceptable by most business owners. The use of child labor was considered an unacceptable alternative to formal education. The use of child labor in factories and other industries was very rare.

Child labor in factories and various industries was widespread.

This is the most accurate choice. The text suggests that the issue of child labor was significant enough to prompt the formation of a committee advocating for the rights of children. The other alternatives appear less plausible; if most business owners deemed child labor intolerable, a committee wouldn't have been necessary. Additionally, the passage doesn't assert that work was an unacceptable substitute for formal education. While it does mention that limiting the working hours for children would allow more time for school, it does not imply that work serves as an alternative to education. The rationale for selecting the first option contradicts the latter. It’s either prevalent or uncommon.
