    Sweatshop workers often go without _____ for long periods of time.

    Explanation
    Sweatshop workers often go without food, water, and breaks for long periods of time. This indicates that they are deprived of basic necessities while working in these conditions. The lack of access to food and water can lead to physical exhaustion and dehydration, which can have serious health consequences. Additionally, the absence of breaks denies them the opportunity to rest and recharge, further exacerbating their physical and mental strain. This exploitation of workers' basic needs highlights the unethical nature of sweatshop labor.
