Answer 1

The passage does not have a strong claim and does not contain any sound reasoning.

Step-by-step explanation:

The passage in question describes the work history of the student's parents and their own job as a part-time worker at a drive-through. It does not explicitly mention a claim or reasoning. Therefore, the statement that best evaluates the use of a claim and reasoning in the passage is option C: The passage does not have a strong claim and does not contain any sound reasoning.
