(10) So Peter walked along, with his belt drawn tight, and his restless blue eyes wandering here and there, looking for a place to get a meal. There were jobs to be had, but they were hard jobs, and Peter wanted an easy one. There are people in this world who live by their muscles, and others who live by their wits; Peter belonged to the latter class; and had missed many a meal rather than descend in the social scale.
What is the main idea of paragraph 10?

A) There are jobs Peter could get, but he doesn’t qualify for any of them.
B) Peter is desperately hungry and will do anything to find something to eat.
C) Peter has no direction and is searching for someone who can help him out of his dilemma.
D) Peter is proud that he uses his brains rather than his brawn, and he would rather go hungry than settle for a manual labor job.
