the strict regimentation at fast food restaurants creates standardized products.
although richard and mac mcdonald introduced the division of labor to the restaurant business, it was a mcdonalds executive named fred turner who created a production system of unusual thoroughness and attentior to detail.
but the stance of the fast food industry on issues involving employee training, the minimum wage, labor unions, and overtime pay strongly suggests that its motives in hiring the young, the poor, and the handicapped are hardly altruistic.

Explanation:

Pathos is an appeal to emotion. The last option evokes feelings of concern or empathy for the young, poor, and handicapped by suggesting the fast - food industry's motives in hiring them are not altruistic. The other options are more factual (about workforce composition, product standardization, and business history) and do not aim to stir emotions.

Answer:

The last option: "But the stance of the fast food industry on issues involving employee training, the minimum wage, labor unions, and overtime pay strongly suggests that its motives in hiring the young, the poor, and the handicapped are hardly altruistic."
