SOURCE 1: From a meeting of upper managers at a company: Unfortunately, we're going to have to fire an employee. I think the choice is pretty clear. The average writer on our team writes 500 words an hour, but Jean only writes 200 words an hour. We need to send a message that this kind of laziness won't be tolerated. Furthermore, she insists on working 40 hours a week, which forces us to give her benefits. SOURCE 2: From an evaluation written by Jean's supervisor: Unlike the average writer in our company who writes 500 words an hour, Jean writes slowly and methodically. While her output is lower, her attention to detail saves her supervisors hours of editing later on. She is such a big help to our department that I would like to keep her on a 40-hour-a-week schedule so that we can be sure to meet our new productivity goals.

Which claim do the two sources most clearly disagree on?

A.
Jean receives benefits from the company.

B.
Jean's word count is lower than average for a writer at the company.

C.
Jean is an outgoing "people person."

D.
Jean is less valuable to the company than the average writer.

Read this excerpt from "the light of gandhi's lamp" by hilary kromberg inglis, in which she describes driving to the police station where her sister is being detained. to avoid looking at the blackened windows at the top of the building and thinking about the history of who had died or been tortured there, i always looked instead at the little chinese restaurant on the opposite side of the road. how does this passage affect the text? it conveys, with great subtlety, the conflict she felt over having a sister who would break the law and end up in the custody of the police. it conveys, without any implied moral judgment, that those who fought against apartheid considered themselves to be soldiers in a just war. it conveys, with an extended metaphor, the idea that being detained by the police in this society was regarded as a badge of honor. it conveys, with direct language, the view held by many anti-apartheid activists that the police often acted in brutal and unlawful ways.
