Question

read the text.
last year, i tried everything under the sun to produce good compost. i faithfully dumped my leftovers into my compost heap, which i turned with my pitchfork every five days. i even adopted a vegetarian diet so that all my food waste would be compost - worthy. but instead of creating rich, dark compost that looked and smelled like earth, i ended up with a non - decomposing, rotten - smelling, fruit - fly - ridden cesspool of gunk.
i almost gave up. and then i discovered the oldpennies website. this clear, plainly written tutorial oozes with enlightening tips for the compost - frustrated, like me. even its name is instructive! old pennies are made of real copper, so they have a very specific color. this color, folks, should inform your compost mentality: think brown (e.g., old leaves), heavily tinged with green (e.g., food scraps). after six months of following oldpennies instructions, i have earned my own compost - bragging rights.
which sentence best summarizes the author’s point of view about the oldpennies website?
the oldpennies website is only good for a laugh about the troubles that people have creating compost.
the oldpennies website provides useful advice, which helps people achieve composting success.
the oldpennies website was only helpful in explaining that compost should look like copper.

Explanation:

To determine the author's point of view about the OldPennies website, we analyze the text:

• The first option is incorrect because the text says the website has "enlightening tips" and helped the author achieve composting success, not just for laughs.
• The second option matches the text: the website has a "plainly written tutorial oozes with enlightening tips" and after following instructions, the author got compost - bragging rights (achieved success).
• The third option is incorrect as the website's advice was about the brown - green balance for compost, not just making compost look like copper.

Answer:

The OldPennies website provides useful advice, which helps people achieve composting success.
