Question

I had been to school constantly until I was about ten years of age, when my mother, feeling obliged to have help in her work besides what I could give, and also needing the money which I could earn, allowed me, at my urgent request (for I wanted to earn money like the other little girls), to go to work in the mill.

Which statement best reflects the perspective of the narrator in this passage?

She does not believe that girls should work.
She thinks that it is appropriate for young girls to work at the mill.
She believes that school is more important than work.
She thinks that her mother is too demanding.

Answer 1

Answer: I believe that it would be she thinks that it is appropriate for young girls to work at the mill.

Explanation:

It would not be the last answer, because the girl wanted to go work. She never said anything about school being more important and the text never said anything about the belief that girls should not work. The girl wanted to work. "...at my urgent request (for I wanted to earn money like the other little girls), to go to work in the mill".

I hope this is right :)
