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: "a fifty-two-hour week with extra pay for overtime, an end to the fines and petty tyrannies, and a living wage." 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 women workers were expected to work for long hours, at times even up to eighty hours a week was too much for any living being to endure.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

Which words best reflect captain memos opinion of the avenger twenty thousand leagues under the sea

Lesechka [4]

I'm not sure what your options are so heres this. Hope it helps :)

Here is a brief summary:

Arronax is moved by Nemo's fervor as he speaks about the name Avenger. Arronax recognizes that Nemo's presence in the water was caused by "wrath, either hideous or glorious." For the time being, Arronax promises us that he will soon find the source of Nemo's rage, but he is distracted by a faint booming sound. He climbs to the platform, where Ned and Conseil are already standing, and looks out towards the ship Arronax in the distance, which he had seen earlier. The boys notice that it's a battleship, but they can't tell whose nation it belongs to because there isn't a flag visible anywhere.
