Question

Read this passage from a lesson about Abraham Lincoln. What inference can you logically make?

Though now considered an icon of the state of Illinois, Abraham Lincoln was born in Kentucky. His father Thomas was not successful as a farmer and
often moved around to find odd jobs. By 1830, the Lincoln family settled near Decatur, Illinois. The young Lincoln, determined to learn, sewed
together sheets of paper to make himself a math notebook, which he used to work out math problems and measurements.
Lincoln had a happy childhood.
Thomas Lincoln was a hard worker.
Lincoln was a math genius.
Lincoln had a deprived childhood.

Answer 1

Lincoln had a deprived childhood.

Step-by-step explanation:

Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States. He was also responsible for the Emancipation Declaration that freed the slaves of specific states and thus, helped in the plight of the negro slaves.

As given in the passage, we can see that Abraham "Abe" Lincoln had a difficult and deprived childhood. Moving from one place to another, he had to help his father out. He also "sewed together sheets of paper to make himself a math notebook, which he used to work out math problems and measurements", which shows his determination to be educated. And the very act of having to sew sheets of paper together to get himself a notebook shows the condition of the Lincoln family.

Thus, the correct answer is that he had a deprived childhood.
