Answer 2

Answer:

In the given passage, the first statement is true, the second statement is false, and third statement is true.

Explanation:

A passage is a segment or portion of a work of fiction or nonfiction. A passage can be as short as a sentence, although it usually comprises of at least one, if not several, paragraphs. A passage is a section of a book, novel, short tale, or even a paragraph.

• According to the passage, the notion that the doffers worked only a portion of the hour is correct, since they worked fifteen minutes every hour.
• The statement everyone except the doffers had to work fourteen hours a day is false as doffers were forced to be on duty nearly fourteen hours a day having one half-hour break, and the statement it took many years for working hours to be shortened is true as they hour reduced after several years due to ten-hour law.

Therefore, the statements are true, false, true respectively

Note: ( The question is incomplete as it is missing the passage which is: )

[The doffers] worked about fifteen minutes every hour and the rest of the time was their own. … The working hours of all the girls extended from five o'clock in the morning until seven in the evening, with one half-hour each, for breakfast and dinner. Even the doffers were forced to be on duty nearly fourteen hours a day. This was the greatest hardship in the lives of these children. Several years later a ten-hour law was passed, but not until long after some of these little doffers were old enough to … plead … for a reduction of the hours of labor.
