This picture, taken by Lewis Hine, shows a 12-year-old factory worker in Vermont in 1912. A girl in a sackcloth dress and bare feet stands next to an industrial sewing machine in a factory. She is resting her left arm on the machine. Which is the best inference that can be made about Hine’s motive in publishing this photograph? Children are too young to be paid wages. Workers should not engage in collective bargaining. People should buy more textiles. Children should not be working in factories.
