Read the excerpt from Iqbal. Hussain Khan looked at us and growled, "What do you think you're looking at? Get back to work." We bent to our looms, but then we quickly peeked over our shoulders. Hussain brought the new boy over to an empty loom in the row next to mine, pulled out a rusty shackle, and locked it on the boy's right ankle. "This will be your place, here's where you'll work," he said. Based on the excerpt, which inference can be made about the setting?

Answer:

The setting can be a textile factory where children are forced to work.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the excerpt there are some key words such as loom, that may imply that this is a textile factory. Also the image of a boy in shackles, locked to a loom, may imply that this boy is being held there against his will.
