Question

select the quotation from the story that most strongly suggests that the theme is some things in life are not worth spending a lot of money on. they were costly, but he wanted to give his customers the best dining experience he could. \good point,\ said joe. \in this business, sooner or later everything breaks.\

Explanation:

To determine the quotation that suggests the theme "Some things in life are not worth spending a lot of money on", we analyze each option:

• The first quotation ("They were costly, but he wanted to give his customers the best dining experience he could.") emphasizes spending on a good experience, not matching the theme.
• The second quotation ("'Good point,' said Joe. 'In this business, sooner or later everything breaks.'") implies that spending a lot on things that will break (and thus not be worth the cost) aligns with the theme.

Answer:

"Good point," said Joe. "In this business, sooner or later everything breaks."
