Read the excerpt from The Life of a Polish Peasant. Every farmer had first to do his dues at the manor house, whether with his team or on foot. Only then could
he work his own land, sowing and reaping at night. No excuse as to pressing needs at home was of any
use. If one did not appear as ordered, at once the overseer would come. If he found the wife busy cooking he would throw a pail of water on the fire.

On the basis of the excerpt, why would an overseer throw water on a fire?

He wanted to help the peasants get their work done more quickly.

He thought the fire was a potential hazard to the manor.

He believed everyone should eat only at the manor house.

He disapproved of the peasants spending time on their own needs.
