Read the excerpt from Iqbal.

"It means that this kind of life isn't right. We should return to our families; we shouldn't be chained to our looms and forced to work like slaves."

"I'd like to go home, too," I said, "but we can't."

"Why not?"

"Because . . . because . . . ," burst in Salman, "because the master is stronger than us. Because it's always been like this. Because nobody cares about us."

"We'll find somebody to help us. Out there. There must be someone."

Answer: encourages others

Step-by-step explanation:

From the excerpt, Iqbal was against the injustices that were done. He stated that they should return to their homes rather than being chained to their looms and also forced to work like slaves.

The words used to characterize Iqbal was someone who motivated and encouraged others. When others doubted themselves, Iqbal gave them hope. This can be deduced when he said that there must be someone who will be able to help them.
