Answer 5

I think A is true, not sure about C

Answer 6

A and D are true. B and C are false.
Explanation:
Child labour laws imposed restriction of children could not work, which was on the later part of the 19th century. Answer choices B and C both are things that happened after child labour laws. Need more proof? Children as young as seven used to work in mills and sometimes lost their hands or feet trying to operate large machinery. ( https://i.imgur.com/LX2SeVf.jpg )
