Children in the early 1800s faced a lot of hard work. They usually had to help their families with household chores. These chores included gardening, sewing, and caring for other children. When their parents got sick, they had to do even more work to help their family meet its needs. Along with these chores at home, most children had long schooldays and a lot of homework.

d. Most children were unable to attend school or receive an education.
This statement corrects a mistake in Sonya's essay. While some children did attend school, many, particularly those from lower-income families or in rural areas, had limited access to education during the early 1800s. Therefore, saying that most children were unable to attend school provides a more accurate reflection of that time period.
