Answer 1

Answer: A. "8.5 million people is a lot of people to employ. Based upon these facts alone, it would seem that the New Deal was indeed reason to hope."

Explanation: Punctuation is the key to a good understanding. The best option for the idea that Wendy wants to convey is the letter A.

The topic sentence; "8.5 million people is a lot of people to employ" must be at the beginning of the sentence so that the reader knows what the paragraph will be about. The sentence continues with a period, to separate the following idea, and a comma in the middle, to take a pause and keep the reader's attention; "Based upon these facts alone, it would seem that the New Deal was indeed reason to hope".
