According to the passage, why does the witness allow his children to work in a place where they will be ill-treated?

(A) A factory owner is forcing him to do so. (B) He doesn’t earn enough on his own. (C) The children need discipline. (D) Their labor is only moderately difficult.Explanation: The witness states that he has work only about 2 days each week, and that he needs to let his children work (necessity compels him). There is no owner forcing him. The phrase “necessity compels a man” refers to his own need for his children to work (A). There is no indication that the children need discipline (C). The phrase “moderate labour” does appear, but the speaker is saying that he would prefer reasonable hours, even if he earns less (D).
