Which piece of evidence best supports schlosser's claim that meatpacking is the most dangerous job in the united states?
a. the injury rate in a slaughterhouse is about three times higher than the rate in a typical american factory.
b. today only one-third of ibp's workers belong to a union. most of the nonunion workers are recent immigrants
c. the unrelenting pressure of trying to keep up with the line has encouraged widespread methamphetamine use among meatpackers.
d. despite the use of conveyer belts, forklifts, dehiding machines, and a variety of power tools, most of the work . . is still performed by hand.

That correct answer is A

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
