read the following excerpt from susan b. anthony by alma lutz:

one day when a "spooler" was ill, susan and her sister hannah eagerly volunteered to take her place. their father was ready to let them try, by their interest and curious to see what they could do, but their mother protested that the mill was no place for children. finally, susan's earnest pleading won her mother's reluctant consent, and the two girls drew lots for the job. it went to twelve-year-old susan on the condition that she divides her earnings with hannah.

based on the context, what does the word consent most likely mean?

agreement,

disagreement,

irritation,

gift.
