What benefit would mandatory school attendance achieve for school children?

(a) it would keep them from their parents

(b) it would teach them skills and protect them

(c) it would exhaust them after long days of work in the factories

(d) it would demonstrate the power of lobbying

The correct answer is C for the past American culture but in the present it would be B. Pretty sure we are talking about the past so the correct answer is C

(b) it would teach them skills and protect them

Explanation:

Demonstrating the power of lobbying is not a benefit for the children, neither is being kept from their parents. Also, exhaustion is not a benefit. In the end, teaching kids skills and having them protected are two good things, making it the only correct answer.
