Question 5 • AZ-English Language Arts 11 B-CR

Which of the following excerpts from Fast Food Nation best provides evidence that fast food restaurants are designed for using unskilled labor?

Answer

Her family’s modest townhouse sits beside a busy highway on the south side of Colorado Springs, in a largely poor and working-class neighborhood.

The ovens at Pizza Hut and at Domino’s also use conveyor belts to ensure standardized cooking times.

The restaurant opens for business at seven o’clock, and for the next hour or so, Elisa and the manager hold down the fort, handling all the orders.

Throughput is all about increasing the speed of assembly, about doing things faster in order to make more.

Explanation

Choice B shows that pizza ovens use conveyor belts to standardize cooking times. This suggests the work is built around a simple, repeatable process rather than requiring workers to make individual judgments or use specialized skills. The other excerpts describe a neighborhood, a staffing situation, or the goal of increasing speed, but do not show as directly how restaurant equipment simplifies the work.
