the machine or be found fault with, he spurs the children to keep up also by various
means but that which he commonly resorts to is to strap them when they become
drowsy."

Answer 1

The Sadler Report of 1832 led to new regulations to improve the working conditions of children in textile factories in Great Britain. The correct answer is option: D. new regulations to ease working conditions for children.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Sadler Report of 1832 exposed the harsh working conditions of children in textile factories and prompted new regulations to ease their working conditions.

Michael Sadler argued against employing children in textile factories, emphasizing the physical toll this labor took on them. He used vivid language to convey the difficulty and cruelty of factory work.

John Thomas Hope, his opponent, argued against limiting the number of hours children could work, stating that it would decrease profits and hinder competition in the market. He believed child labor was a resource for families and beneficial for the children.
