Read the excerpt from iqbal. hussain khan looked at us and growled, "what do you think you're looking at? get back to work." we bent to our looms, but then we quickly peeked over our shoulders. hussain brought the new boy over to an empty loom in the row next to mine, pulled out a rusty shackle, and locked it on the boy's right ankle. "this will be your place, here's where you'll work," he said. based on the excerpt, which inference can be made about the setting? children decide to begin working at young ages. children are used to working in unfair conditions. the workshop is a safe and healthy environment. carpet-making is the main industry in the area

The correct answer is B. Children are used to working in unfair conditions.

Explanation:

The setting refers to the conditions or contexts in which a story takes place, this includes not only the geographical location but other elements such as the geographical conditions, the historical period and the social conditions in which characters in a story are immersed. These contexts can be presented by the author or narrator or stated implicitly connected to the character's actions. In the case presented the characters who are boys observed the way in which  another character called Hussain Khan brings another boy and pulls a chain on his feet to force him to work in a loom (textile machine) while the kids that observed this event seem to be also working in looms and are shouted by the same character. This suggests the boys who observed the scene and the new boy are all being forced to work in a textile factory and the conditions in which they work are not good. Thus, the details in the text suggest about the setting or context that the children are used to working in unfair conditions as the place in which they are, suggests they are forced to work and even other put shackles on them.
