Read the excerpt from iqbal. that morning we had a bigger breakfast than usual—which alone put us in a good mood—and we were allowed to laugh and chat while we waited to pass the filthy curtain outside the bathroom. the numskulls had already finished, and for the sake of the foreigners they wouldn't be chained to their looms that day. the rest of us were waiting on line, pushing and shoving. "be good, children! be good," called the mistress, but it didn't sound like her usual nasty warning. what can be inferred from this excerpt? the workshop was not a pleasant environment for the children. the children were well-fed and happy. local people didn't like or trust foreign visitors. only foreigners bought carpets from hussain khan's shop.

The workshop was not a pleasant environment for the children.

Explanation:

Although the tone of this passage is a positive one, there is a lot of hidden information that implies that the workshop was not a pleasant environment for the children. We learn that the breakfast the children have is usually very small, and that they are usually not allowed to chat or laugh. We also learn that the workshop is filthy and that children are often chained to their looms. Finally, we learn that the mistress who issues orders and warnings is usually mean. All of this contributes to developing the idea that the workshop was not a pleasant environment for the children.
