what kind of work would a 13-year-old colonial farm child be expected to do?

a.) fetch water, feed the animals, and chop wood for the fireplace

b.) the mother with simple household chores and tend the younger children

c.) clean his or her sleeping area and keep toys picked up

d.) work alongside, doing the same tasks as the parent of the same gender

D is the most suitable answer for a 13-year-old child.

Explanation: At colonial times childhood was not the same as it is nowadays. A boy or girl who was 13 years old or more was most likely considered a young adult than a child. They worked alongside and they did the same tasks as their parents. The girls did the tasks women were supposed to do and the boys worked just like their fathers.
