The author's purpose is to persuade the reader that child labor is wrong. which passage best supports this purpose?

lewis hine was born in 1874 and grew up in wisconsin.

hine wrote reports about what he saw, and freedman uses hine's own words from the reports.

hine's pictures show the grimy faces of young coal miners, exhausted cotton pickers, and 4-year-old cannery workers.

he photographed children at work in seafood canneries, coal mines, textile mills, laundries, cotton fields, and glass and shoe factories.

What the question is asking, I believe, is what will best communicate the idea and persuade people the most.

The answer, I believe is the picture of the sweaty, dirty, exahusted children in coal mines.

The first choice doesn't work, obviously, because there is nothing mentioned about child labor.

The second choice works word wise, but it has no visual. You are also hearing it through someone else's words, as if third person.

The fifth choice would be correct, BUT the fourth choice is better. With the fifth, you see children working. That's sad. But, with the fourth, you not only see the children working, but tired, exahusted, and dirty. That truly communicates how horrible child labor is.

Hope I helped.
