Ms. Sue, is D the correct answer then?
Sorry if it's to late, but I think it's D
shes right
No, the answer is not B. To determine the correct answer, let's analyze each option and see which one is common to all the groups listed.
A. They rarely attained landownership: This may be true for some groups, particularly Native Americans, who were often displaced from their lands. However, it does not apply to all the groups listed. For example, some women and working-class individuals did own land.
B. They could all be legally owned as slaves: This is not true for all the groups. While African Americans were subjected to slavery during this time period, the other groups were not legally owned as slaves.
C. They were prohibited from working certain hours by law: This also does not apply to all the groups. Some groups, such as women and children, were subject to labor laws and regulations, but it was not a common characteristic for all of them.
D. They worked better to achieve better representation in Congress: This option does not accurately reflect the common characteristic of all the groups listed.
Thus, based on the analysis, option A is the correct answer. The common characteristic among all the groups listed is that they rarely attained land ownership.
