Question

Read the passage and answer the question that follows: A slave's life was full of hardships and difficulties. Workdays were long and exhausting, full of backbreaking labor, and slaves would work 10 to 16 hours a day. Masters could hire out their slaves to work for other masters; however, the slaves were not compensated for this work. Despite these hardships, masters provided nourishing food for their slaves, because they needed them to be strong. Choose the sentence that corrects a historical inaccuracy in the passage. Masters would give an allowance to slaves if they worked well when hired out. Masters would sell slaves, but they were not permitted to loan them out to other masters. Slaves often did not have enough food to eat, which left them in poor health. Slaves were expected to work for as long as the sun was shining.
