Read this excerpt from Henry Ford’s autobiography, My Life and Work.

From the beginning I never could work up much interest in the labour of farming. I wanted to have something to do with machinery. My father was not entirely in sympathy with my bent toward mechanics. He thought that I ought to be a farmer. When I left school at seventeen and became an apprentice in the machine shop of the Drydock Engine Works I was all but given up for lost.

What can best be inferred from this excerpt?

Henry Ford is unable to perform the work that a farm requires.
Henry Ford and his father share a love of machines.
Henry Ford’s father disapproves of Henry’s work in the machine shop.
Henry Ford’s success in his apprenticeship makes his family proud.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Henry Ford's Father disapproves of Henry's work in the machine shop. I don't know what letter this is, but it is the best of the choices given.

We know nothing of the family's pride. The last one is wrong.

I think Ford could do the farm work. He just didn't want to. The first one is wrong.

The second one is also wrong. I don't think Ford's father loved machines.
