Read the excerpt from Fast Food Nation. Instead of relying upon a small, stable, well-paid and well-trained workforce, the fast food industry seeks out part-time, unskilled workers who are willing to accept low pay. Teenagers have been the perfect candidates for these jobs, not only because they are less expensive to hire than adults, but also because their youthful inexperience makes them easier to control. In this excerpt, Schosser claims that fast food restaurants are taking advantage of people to save money. . helping society by hiring unskilled workers. providing valuable training for teenagers. using highly skilled workers in low-paying jobs.

Answer 1

taking advantage of people to save money.

Answer 2

The question requires analyzing an excerpt from "Fast Food Nation" by Eric Schlosser. The excerpt discusses the employment practices of the fast food industry, particularly focusing on their preference for hiring part-time, unskilled workers, especially teenagers. The key points to note are:1. The industry's preference for a "part-time, unskilled workforce" indicates a strategy to minimize labor costs.2. The mention of "low pay" and the hiring of teenagers because they are "less expensive to hire than adults" further emphasizes the cost-saving motive.3. The statement about teenagers being "easier to control" due to their "youthful inexperience" suggests a power dynamic where employers can easily manage and influence these young workers.4. The overall tone and context of the excerpt imply a critique of the fast food industry's employment practices, suggesting they are exploiting these workers.Given these points, the correct interpretation of Schlosser's claim in this excerpt is that fast food restaurants are exploiting a certain demographic (teenagers, unskilled workers) to save costs. This aligns with the first option, which states that fast food restaurants are taking advantage of people to save money. The other options (helping society by hiring unskilled workers, providing valuable training for teenagers, using highly skilled workers in low-paying jobs) do not align with the critical tone of the excerpt and the specific details provided about the industry's employment practices.
