Answer:

The correct answer is: Children performed physical labor for long hours each day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Children from poor families often helped their families by working in factories. In the 1800s, almost two-thirds of factory workers in England and Scotland were children, who were forced to work for extended shifts in terrible conditions and they were paid 10% or 20% of the total salary of an adult man. Children between 11 and 18 years old worked approximately 12 hours per day.
