Question

6. Key Idea and Details: What theme or central idea is suggested by the author's

response in paragraph 71 to the factory lecture “The Happy Worker and His
Work”? Does it prove to be true for her?

Answer 1

Answer: The author's response suggests a theme of uncertainty and disbelief. It proves to be false for her.

Explanation: The author's response in the paragraph suggests that she had an erroneous perception of what America was. She grew up believing that every person loved working at what they did and that nobody had to worry about making enough salary. Therefore, she suggests a theme of uncertainty and disbelief about how the real America works.
