Question

Read the scenario below and answer the question that follows.

Student B reads the following excerpt from "Civil Peace":

"At first he went daily, then every other day and finally once a week, to the offices of the Coal Corporation where he used to be a miner, to find out what was what. The only thing he did find out in the end was that that little house of his was even a greater blessing than he had thought. Some of his fellow ex-miners who had nowhere to return at the end of the day's waiting just slept outside the doors of the offices and cooked what meal they could scrounge together in Bournvita tins. As the weeks lengthened and still nobody could say what was what Jonathan discontinued his weekly visits altogether and faced his palm wine bar."

After reading the excerpt, Student B writes this: "Jonathan realizes how lucky he is when he observes some of the ex-miners eating from Bournvita tins and sleeping outside the offices of the Coal Corporation."
