Is this a riddle? I think it is a lettuce vegetable!
Answer:
Female factory workers had to work long hours, sometimes up to eighty hours a week.
Explanation:
Joan Dash provided a poignant and eye-opening historical account of the women's factory strike of 1909 in "We Shall Not Be Moved." This provides an insight into what the condition was like for women and also how the Women's Trade Union League came to be.
In the given passage from the text, the narrator reveals how the women's demand was simple: <em>"a fifty-two-hour week with extra pay for overtime, an end to the fines and petty tyrannies, and a living wage." </em>And in order to understand what the basis of the demands were, we have to know the situation of workers, especially female workers during the early 1990s. And the fact that <u>women workers were expected to work for long hours, at times even up to eighty hours a week</u> was too much for any living being to endure.
Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

<u>Hidden characteristics of of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight:</u>
Sir Gwain and the Green Knight is a medieval romance in as far as it deals with adventures of a brave and courageous knight, Sir Gawain, who accepts the challenges of a Green Knight and beheads him once with the Green Knight’s axe in King Arthur’s court as per the Green Knight’s wish.
The condition that the green knight puts forth before giving the challenge is that he would return it in a year and a day in the green chapel. Actually, it is a game. After he is beheaded once, he gives his head to the queen of King Arthur’s court and rides away.
In the end, the Green Knight turns out to be Bertilak, the lord of a castle that Sir Gawain visits on his way to the green chapel and stays on in on the request of the lord.
He is transformed into the Green Knight by magic of King Arthur’s sister, a sorceress who wanted to test Arthur’s Knights. He is the hidden character who reveals his true identity in the end after Gawain overcomes his trials.
Gawain is saved from the Green Knight’s blow because of the girdle gifted to him by Lady Bertilak. In the end, Lord Bertilak calls him a blameless Knight in the whole land.
