Question

the author of fast food nation claims that the fast - food industry prefers to employ teenagers. how does the author best support this claim?
by providing evidence that teenagers are the bulk of the workforce in america because many still live at home
by providing the counterclaim that teenagers typically leave behind their first jobs at fast - food chains for better opportunities
by providing evidence that teenagers are better at smiling and promoting the increased size of an order
by providing specific reasons why teenagers are ideal candidates, such as their acceptance of lower wages

Explanation:

The author of Fast Food Nation would need to give solid reasons why teenagers are ideal employees. Options like stating they are the bulk of the workforce (but not explaining why the industry prefers them) or a counterclaim about leaving jobs (doesn't support the preference claim) or a narrow skill like smiling (too limited) are not as strong as giving specific reasons like lower - wage acceptance. Lower - wage acceptance is a key economic reason (related to Business - Management subfield as it pertains to labor cost management in an industry) that would make teenagers preferred employees in a cost - conscious industry like fast - food.

Answer:

by providing specific reasons why teenagers are ideal candidates, such as their acceptance of lower wages
