Question

would put in some volunteer labour at whatever seemed to be most needed, before the regular day’s work began. his answer to every problem, every setback, was \i will work harder\—which he had adopted as his personal motto.

which statement best explains how details in the passage develop the central idea that boxer is dedicated to the farm?

the details show that boxer misses jones.

the details show that boxer is inventive.

the details show that boxer is tireless.

the details show that everybody likes boxer.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• The first option about missing Jones is irrelevant to Boxer's dedication to the farm.
• The second option about being inventive is not supported by the passage (the passage focuses on working hard, not inventing).
• The third option: The passage states Boxer does volunteer labor before regular work and uses "I will work harder" as a motto, showing he is tireless (persistently working hard), which supports his dedication to the farm.
• The fourth option about everyone liking Boxer is not related to his dedication to the farm.

Answer:

The details show that Boxer is tireless.
