Answer: The more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and spread
See Exodus 1:11-14. The Egyptians' plan in making the Israelites work harder was to prevent them increasing in numbers and becoming a threat (vv8-10). The plan backfired, because it had the opposite effect.
They may have complained or praised God, but this is not mentioned. It is unlikely that slave labourers would be able to work to rule.

From Quiz: Ten Plagues in Exodus
Answer: Shiphrah
Exodus is the second book of the Old Testament and continues the story that began in Genesis where Jacob, his other twelve children and his grandchildren went to live in Egypt with Joseph after the drought and famine. They have long since died but their descendants have multiplied greatly.
A new king grew worried about their numbers in case they ever chose to join with their enemies in a time of war so called the Hebrew midwives Shiphrah and Puah and told them to kill any male children that were born and let the girls live.
They were God-fearing women and refused to do this and when questioned by the king they told him that Hebrew women were more vigorous than the Egyptians and had already given birth before they arrived. After this the king ordered his own people to throw the male babies into the river to drown.
Some scholars believe that the two midwives were actually Jochebed and Miriam but there is no actual mention of this is the scriptures.

The Pharaoh in Exodus 1 knew or remembered not the great things Joseph did to save Egypt from the great famine. In verse 1:9, Pharaoh said to his people, "Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we." Apparently, up to this time, the Israelites were not in bondage.

From Quiz: Revisiting The Book of Exodus
Answer: Amram and Jochebed
Jochebed was also Amram's aunt, as she was his father's sister. Aaron and Miriam were Moses' brother and sister. Moses also had a wife named Zipporah, a father-in-law named Jethro and a son named Gershom. It states in Exodus 4:25 that Zipporah circumcised her own son and then touched the foreskin on Moses' feet, saying they were now married by blood.
(Question submitted by Ilona_Ritter)
From Quiz: Exodus!
Answer: Jochebed
Moses' ancestors came directly from the line of Abraham. His son, Isaac was the father of Jacob who had the twelve sons one of whom was Levi. Levi's son was Kohath and Kohath's was Amram who was the father of Moses. Kohath had a sister named Jochebed whom married her nephew Amram and is thus the mother of Moses.
Jochebed lived in Egypt at the time when the baby boys were being killed so after Moses, her youngest child, was born she hid him for three months and then made him a basket of bulrushes and put it into the Nile River.
The Pharaoh's daughter happened to be bathing in the river and she found and decided to adopt him. His sister, presumed to be Miriam, came forward and offered to find a Hebrew woman to nurse him. When she agreed, Miriam ran to get her mother who was appointed to take care of him. It is believed she looked after him until he was somewhere between the ages of 8-12 but it was enough time for him to develop loyalty to his people and learn of the Hebrew history and of their God.

Worshiping idols can be interpreted as happening when anything that is not God takes a higher place than God in someone's life. It could be models, cars, money, movie stars, sports, etc (Exodus 20:4). In this case, Adam has made an idol of a calf and is literally worshiping it.

Answer: Moses
Here's what it says in Exodus 1:12,22:
"But the more they (Egyptians) afflicted them (Israelites), the more they multiplied and grew. And they were in dread of the children of Israel. So Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, 'Every son (of the Israelites) who is born you shall cast into the river, and every daughter you shall save alive.'"
It was during this time that Moses was born, but his life was spared because his mother put him in a basket shortly after he was born and set it in the reeds along the bank of a river. Pharaoh's daughter found him and decided to keep him and raised him as her son. When Moses grew up he went back to his own people. One day he saw an Egyptian mistreating one of the Hebrew people and he killed the Egyptian and fled for his life into the land Midian. He married Zipporah, the daughter of a priest and had a family. He had lived there for forty years when God called him to return to Egypt and secure the release of the Israelites in Exodus 3:10.

From Quiz: Ten Plagues in Exodus
Answer: Jethro
The Israelites had been forced into a life of harsh slavery since the appointment of the new king and were living as an oppressed people. When Moses was an adult he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew and killed the man. When this was found out he escaped to Midian.
Moses was sitting by a well when a group of seven sisters came to water their flock and collect water. He got up to assist them when some shepherds tried to drive them away. The girls were the daughters of Jethro, the Priest of Midian, and when he heard what Moses had done, he invited him back for a meal. Moses stayed with him and married one of his daughters.
Jethro also looked after Moses' family when he left to follow God's orders and appears again later to visit him in the wilderness. He is amazed at the number of people who come to Moses asking him to sort their disputes out and warns Moses that he will wear himself out. He advised him to appoint judges to take care of minor disputes and leave only the important cases for him to deal with so that he would be free to represent them to God and to teach them Gods' laws.
In Exodus 2:18, Jethro is also referred to as Reuel and, in the Book of Judges 4:11, as Hobab (KJV)

Answer: Ask Pharaoh to please let them go

Moses had quite a task ahead of him: he first had to convince the Israelites that God had called him and they were to go with him to speak to Pharaoh. God had enabled Moses to do a miraculous sign by casting his rod on the ground, where it would then become a snake. This was pretty convincing to the Israelites but Pharaoh was not impressed with them or their God. He sent them away and, thinking the Israelites had too much time on their hands, he increased their labor, which made them not just a little angry with Moses.
