The following question refers to selections by Maya Angelou.

Many of the cotton pickers, who Angelou discusses in "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," worked to bring home large sacks of cotton to make more money and get out of debt.

True

False

The correct answer is true.

These people worked long hours in order to be able to feed their families, but also get out of debt that has accumulated over the years. Nobody likes owing money to someone else - so these workers picked cotton during the day, and then brought it home so as to work on it some more and thus save time the next day.
