C. READING
Read the passage below.

Doing the Laundry 100 years ago!

Imagine you have no electricity or running water. How would you do the laundry?
Believe it or not, families washed, dried, and ironed their clothes without these things
100 years ago. But it wasn’t easy. First, people had to wash clothes in a tub with a
washing board. They rubbed the clothes along the board.
After washing people needed to dry the clothes. People
hung their clothes to dry on a clothesline. But the clothes were
too wet to hang right away, so they used a mangle. A mangle
was a strange tool. People put their clothing between two pieces of wood. They
turned the handle, and the mangle squeezed the water pout of the wet clothing.
Then the clothes needed ironing. Since there was no
electricity, people could not plug in an iron. Instead, they warmed their irons with
hot coals from the stove. They often had three or four irons in their stove at one
time.
So the next you have chores to do, remember that you don’t have to work as
hard as people did 100 years ago.

a. What did people use to wash their clothes?

b. What did a mangle do?
