Question

How does the setting of the Great Depression help readers grasp the conflict in "Gumption"? A. Readers know that Clara is able to find work because she is not a man. B. Readers know that Charlie Oyster will not be allowed to learn to type. C. Readers know that Syl and Jack are not working because they are lazy. D. Readers know that the characters are not likely to find work.

Answer 1

"D. Readers know that the characters are not likely to find work" would be the best option, since during the Great Depression employment was very hard to find in any setting.
