During the economic boom of the 1990s, when many american workers enjoyed their first pay raises in a generation, the real value of wages in the restaurant industry continued to fall. the roughly 3.5 million fast food workers are by far the largest group of minimum wage earners in the united states. the only americans who consistently earn a lower hourly wage are migrant farm workers. which example best synthesizes the information in the original passage? a. the roughly 3.5 million fast food workers consistently earn a lower hourly wage than migrant farm workers and saw the real value of wages in the restaurant industry continue to fall (schlosser 6). b. while the economy was booming in the 1990s and many workers were getting raises, the wages of fast food workers continued to fall. fast food workers are the largest group of minimum-wage earners, migrant farm workers being the only group who earns less (schlosser 6). c. in the 1990s, fast food workers, whose earnings were only slightly higher than those of migrant farm workers, saw the value of their salaries decline even as other american workers were getting paid more (schlosser 6). d. while "many american workers enjoyed their first pay raises in a generation," the wages of the "roughly 3.5 million fast food workers" continued to fall. "the only americans who consistently earn a lower hourly wage are migrant farm workers" (schlosser 6)

In the 1990s, fat food workers, whose earnings were only slightly higher than those migrant farm workers , saw the value of their salaries decline even as other American workers were getting paid more (Scholosser 6)

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.
