Dear___, Date:____

I am [Name], i hope this letter reaches you well, the reason i am writing this letter is to state the issues of Child Labor, there are many problems with it, I believe that children should not be forced to work, and when they do work they are getting paid very little, almost 160 million children around the world are engaged in child labor, working in jobs that deprive them from their childhood, interfering with school, or harm their mental, physical, or social development. 79 million children work under hazardous conditions. More than 70 children die each year from child labor, and over millions of children are sold as slaves just to die, child labor accounts 20,000 worker’s compensation claims. A child working in a hazardous environment will do more damage to situations than fixing them, I believe that these laws should be changed for the better of the children and the workplace environment.
Sincerely- [Name]

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

I checked for D and right away saw the part saying "farms in the U.S. states of North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia." so It's not that and then I checked C and saw "more than 140 children" and you said Its not A so the only option Is B I checked everywhere and It doesn't mention anything about "Why some people maintain that working on tobacco farms is a viable option for children"
