Read the passage by sue hubbell below. the reason i am hiring david this year is that a young man i have used in the past has moved away. we worked well together and he liked bees though even he was stung royally at first. i admired his courage the first day we were out together, for he stood holding a super from which i was blowing bees while his arm was fast turning into a pin cushion from stings. when we carried the stacked supers to the honey house's loading dock, he would scorn the hot bee veil as he wheeled the supers on the handtruck despite the cross bees flying around the dock. one time, as i opened the door for him to bring in the load, i noticed that his face was contorted in what i took to be the effort of getting the handtruck down the ramp. we quickly wheeled the load of supers up to the scale, where we weigh each load. he was going too fast, so that when he stopped at the scale he fell backward and 350 pounds of supers dropped on him. pinned down, he loyally balanced himself on one fist so that he didn't harm the honey pump against which he had fallen. the reason for his knotted face and his speed was obvious for the first time: he was being stung on the forehead by three bees. good boss that i am, i did not choose that moment to go to the cabin and make myself a cup of coffee; i picked the supers off his chest, scraped off the stingers and him to his feet. it became one of our shared legends of working together. this year i miss him. work cited: hubbell, sue. “the beekeeper.” the new york times. 2 aug. 1984. web. which description best fits the author's point of view? a boss who is making fun of her employee a nostalgic coworker a boss who is angry with her employee an indifferent coworker

In this excerpt from "a modest proposal" by jonathan swift, which important issue does the writer deal with using a satirical tone? some persons of a desponding spirit are in great concern about that vast number of poor people, who are aged, diseased, or maimed; and i have been desired to employ my thoughts what course may be taken, to ease the nation of so grievous an incumbrance. but i am not in the least pain upon that matter, because it is very well known, that they are every day dying, and rotting, by cold and famine, and filth, and vermin, as fast as can be reasonably expected. and as to the young labourers, they are now in almost as hopeful a condition. they cannot get work, and consequently pine away from want of nourishment, to a degree, that if at any time they are accidentally hired to common labour, they have not strength to perform it, and thus the country and themselves are happily delivered from the evils to come. a. old, sickly people cannot be hired as laborers because they don't have the physical stamina required for the job. b. old, sickly people and young laborers are useless to the nation because they cannot be productive citizens. c. the economy of the nation is burdened by the poor, the old, and the sickly who survive on charity and handouts. d. the living conditions of the poor and their lack of employment opportunities are serious concerns for the nation. reset next
