Read the excerpt from Sora and Yuma’s debate.Sora: When shopping, using the self-checkout essentially qualifies customers as employees. The customer must scan items, bag products, and enter codes. These are the same basic tasks required of a cashier. So, why does a store need both of them? Yuma: The duties of a cashier are far more involved than self-checkout. Self-checkout is a luxury offered to busy customers in a hurry. However, this does not qualify a customer as an employee.
Answer
A
to prove the claim that customers are trained enough to get paid for self-checkout
B
to prove the claim that self-checkout is difficult
C
to prove the claim that cashiers’ duties are as simple as self-checkout routines
D
to prove the claim that self-checkout is eliminating jobs
Explanation
Sora argues that customers perform the same basic tasks as cashiers when they use self-checkout: scanning items, bagging products, and entering codes. The question about why a store needs both a cashier and self-checkout supports the claim that cashiers’ duties are as simple as the self-checkout routine. It does not show that customers are trained to be paid employees or that self-checkout is eliminating jobs.
