    Children performed physical labor for long hours each day.

    During the 19th century, child labor was harsh and cruel. By using the process of elimination, we can cancel out any incorrect answers;

    -Children who worked hard didn't get promoted, only adults and seniors held high power positions.

    -Many children who performed labor didn't have the money to get an education, so school and child labor contradict themselves.

    -Children did perform hard physical labor most of the day.

    -Children did have an opportunity to learn useful trade skills, but this answer does not characterize 19th century child labor.
