The correct answer is A. To emphasize the generational cycle of debt slavery

Step-by-step explanation:

The excerpt from "Free the Children" refers to the "life cycle" of slaves by explaining in this context, individuals are expected to work incessantly just to pay the debt of their parents; at the same time, once the debt is paid it is likely they request a loan to their master and let their children paid it. This shows a constant cycle of working just for paying the debt bondage, which does not allow people to be free or follow their will. This is emphasized by the words of someone paying a debt slavery in "will do the same job. I will work to pay the debt ... One day I will take a loan from the owner. My children will have to pay" that shows the endless cycle. According to this, the author more likely includes this interaction "to emphasize the generational cycle of debt slavery."
