Answer:

He is sold to his employer by is father.

Explanation:

William Blake's poem <em>"The Chimney Sweeper"</em> from his <em><u>"Songs of Innocence,"</u></em> tells the story of how a small boy was forced into employment as child labor which was a common practice in England of that time. This poem is a generalization of the prominent case of child labor through which some families get their incomes.

Narrated from the small boy's perspective, the first stanza reads

<em>When my mother died I was very young, </em>

<em>And my father sold me while yet my tongue </em>

<em>Could scarcely cry " 'weep! 'weep! 'weep! 'weep!" </em>

<em>So your chimneys I sweep & in soot I sleep</em>

It is clearly evident to see that the young boy's employment came at the death of his mother. <u>His father sold him to be a chimney sweeper</u> even before he could barely talk or speak.

What is the first thing you should do when you take a test?
Jet001 [13]
It'd be smartest to do A first, and from there you can manage your time and answer the questions that won't take long at the end. if it's a reading test, you can look for keywords while skimming if you look at the questions first. All of the answer choices are good, but A is the best.
