Question

5. PART B: Which of the following quotes best supports the answer

to Part A?
O A "In the pickling of hams they had an ingenious apparatus, by

plant...." ( Paragraph 2)
OB "To pump into these the packers had a second and much
stronger pickle which destroyed the odor-a process known to
the workers as "giving them thirty per cent." ( Paragraph 2)
OC "It was only when the whole ham was spoiled that it came into
the department of Elzbieta. Cut up by the two-thousand-
revolutions-a-minute flyers, and mixed with half a ton of other
meat, no odor that ever was in a ham could make any
difference." ( Paragraph 3)
D "All of their sausage came out of the same bowl, but when they
came to wrap it they would stamp some of it "special" and for
this they would charge two cents more a pound" ( Paragraph 5

Answer 1

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

"The Jungle" is a novel written by Upton Sinclair. In his novel he shares about the unsanitary conditions of the meat industries and unethical practices adept by them to earn profit rather than thinking about the well-being and health conditions of the public.

The quote from the text that best supports the idea that a factory is likely to employ such questionable practices is in option D. The factory employed such unethical practices to earn money and profit at the risk of public health. The sausages that these industries sell come out of the same machinery, but sold with different stamp. The sausage bundles sold with the stamp 'special' have nothing special in reality, but just a way to earn extra money.

Therefore, option D is correct.
