Answer:

The work tool which became a symbol of Grito De Lares is the Machete.

Step-by-step explanation:

Grito De Lare is Spanish which means Cry of Lares.

The Machete originated as a farm tool for hacking through forests, cutting through shrubs in some cases, tree cutting and was very predominant in sugar cane plantations.

Made from relatively soft metal and designed to be sharpened regularly, it became a tool/ weapon of choice for the revolt during the Grito De Lare on September 23, 1868, when peasants and slaves being wobbling under the weight of Spain's oppressive policies banded together to revolt.
