Background information: Charles Dickens visited the

United States in 1842, and due to his interest in the

treatment of factory workers, he visited the Lowell Mills

in Massachusetts. This is an excerpt from his

observations

According to the passage, how do the workers of

Lowell differ from those of Britain?

O They are harder working because of the strong

influence of their managers.

They have a larger manufacturing population in

Lowell, so jobs are plentiful.

0 They are mostly women, whereas in Britain, only

men work in factories.

They are daughters of farmers who only work in the

factory for a few years.
