Question

Driving around the parks that encircle Washington, he solicited customers with a simple pitch: early in the morning, he would deliver some bagels and a cash basket to company’s snack room; he would return before lunch to pick up the money and the leftovers. It was an honor-system commerce scheme, and it worked. Within a few years, Feldman was delivering 8,400 bagels a week to 140 companies and earning as much as he had ever made as a research analyst. He had thrown off the shackles of cubicle life and made himself happy. Based on the excerpt, which statement best strengthens Feldman’s claim that people are mostly honest?

Answer 1

Feldman's payment system was largely successful.

Step-by-step explanation:

" It was an honor-system commerce scheme, and it worked."

Feldman was delivering 8,400 bagels a week to 140 companies and earning as much money as he had ever done before. That honor-system worked. Hence, the people that worked in those companies are mostly honest or, at least, pay for what they eat from the basket.
