This excerpt is from a doctor’s testimony to an 1819 british parliamentary committee. when i was a surgeon in the infirmary, accidents were very often admitted to the infirmary, through the children's hands and arms having being caught in the machinery; in many instances the muscles, and the skin is stripped down to the bone, and in some instances a finger or two might be lost. which statement best summarizes what the doctor is saying about child factory workers?
they need to learn safety rules.
their injuries are untreatable.
their injuries are quite minor.
they are doing dangerous work.

The correct answer is D) They are doing dangerous work.

The statement that best summarizes what the doctor is saying about child factory workers is "They are doing dangerous work."

This is true because the doctor is referring to real cases that he lived while working in the infirmary. He says: through the children's hands and arms having being caught in the machinery; in many instances, the muscles, and the skin is stripped down to the bone, and in some instances, a finger or two might be lost."

During the Industrial Revolution, there was no real regulation about the workplace. Workers were paid low wages, the working conditions were so poor, there were unhealthy places, and children were used to working in the factories because they were paid much lower wages than men. The consequences were that many children were hurt.
