Question

Read the excerpt from Free the Children.

"School," I had asked him, "would you like to go to school?" "What is school? What is it like? What do people do there?" "What do you hope for the future?" I said. "I will do the same job. I will work to pay the debt. I will work to eat. One day I will take a loan from the owner. My children will have to pay."

Why does the author most likely include this interaction?
a. to emphasize the generational cycle of debt slavery
b. to highlight how Iqbal’s work helped people
c. to show why Iqbal was targeted for his work
d. to illustrate how people escape from debt slavery

Answer 1

A. to emphasize the generational cycle of debt slavery

Answer 2

A. To emphasize the generational cycle of debt slavery.

Step-by-step explanation:

He's explaining that what he has to do now his children will have to do as well, just like his parents had to take a loan from the owner of the "business", he someday will have to take a loan from the business, and his children will have to work like he had to work. C doesn't make sense because he's not talking about the dangers or why he was a target, but about a cycle, D doesn't make sense because he's talking about how people are trapped and stay in debt slavery, not how to escape, and B is N/A because he's not talking about how he's helped people, but rather how the cycle works.
