C. no insurance for injuries or even death on the job

D. work days that could last over 14 hours

Answer 1

Answer: Children received little education as they also had to work in these same conditions to help support their families. No insurance for injuries or even death on the job. Workdays that could last more than 14 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

• All of the above statements are true. Early industrialisation brought many problems to the workers. One of the worst occurrences in this period was the war of minor children. The worst was in those places where heavy physical work was done. There were children aged seven or eight in these places.

• The workers had no insurance. Not even in death cases. In situations where the employee is severely injured, the employer may have fired him or her without compensation.

• Working hours in the early industrial revolution lasted from 12 to 16 hours. Sometimes workers worked weeks without rest days.
