Question
4. The following text is from Upton Sinclair's 1906 novel The Jungle.
The work which Jurgis was to do here was very simple, and it took him but
a few minutes to learn it. He was provided with a stiff besom, such as is
used by street sweepers, and it was his place to follow down the line the
man who drew out the smoking entrails from the carcass of the steer; this
mass was to be swept into a trap, which was then closed, so that no one
might slip into it.
Which choice best states the main purpose of the text?
Answer
The main purpose of the text is to describe the job of Jurgis in the slaughterhouse.
