Research shows that tipping in a restaurant has little to no effect on service. What tipping does do is enable restaurateurs to pay less than the federal minimum wage to servers and depend on customers to make up the difference between servers' salaries and the minimum wage. The U.S. federal minimum wage for servers is $2.13 per hour. Although minimum wage varies from state to state, it is safe to say that customers are paying the lion's share of servers' salaries. This practice leads to resentment on the part of customers, and it devalues servers. It's time to abolish tipping and pay employees a living wage. The result may well be happy servers who provide excellent service to grateful customers. Which of the following is evidence the writer provides to support the main argument?

A. Customers are grateful for excellent service.

B. Servers do not provide good service because of their low pay.

C. The minimum wage varies from state to state.

D. Customers pay a large percentage of servers' salaries

Answer Explanation:

The U.S. federal minimum wage for servers is $2.13 per hour. The author uses this evidence to support the main argument that servers are not paid a living wage.
The passage discusses how tipping allows restaurateurs to pay servers less than the federal minimum wage and relies on customers to compensate for the difference. This point is aligned with the writer's argument that tipping perpetuates a system where customers contribute a substantial portion of servers' income, leading to the need for abolishing tipping and ensuring employees receive a living wage.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is D.

Q #2: Hedy Lamarr, the Inventor Hedy Lamarr was a woman of many talents. She was first known as a European film actress in the 1930s. She began starring in American films with MGM Studios in the late 1930s and early 1940s. Some of her more popular films included Boom Town (1940) and White Cargo (1942); however, her roles generally did not include very many spoken lines and she became bored. To relieve this boredom, Lamarr took up inventing. Hedy Lamarr did not have any formal training, but she did not allow that to stop her from teaching herself in her spare time. Although she had a number of failed inventions, such as an improved traffic light and a carbonated drink, Lamarr did not stop coming up with ideas. She even spent time working with the science engineering team employed by Howard Hughes, the aviation tycoon. During World War I, Lamarr learned that one of the military's new technologies, radio-controlled torpedoes, were too easily jammed and redirected. She came up with a type of radio signal that changed, or "hopped, frequencies and was unable to be tracked or disrupted. With the assistance of her friend George Anthell, she was able to design the system and patent it in August 1942. Unfortunately, the United States Navy was not interested. The technology of the era wasn't quite good enough to easily implement Lamarr's system, and the Navy was not particularly interested in civilian inventions at the time. It wasn't until 20 years later, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, that a version of Lamarr's system began appearing on Navy ships. The work Lamarr and Antheil did creating this frequency-hopping system led to many technologies that are often taken for granted today. Their work led to the development of cell phones, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. Just think, we might not have any of those things if Hedy Lamarr had been given more interesting roles Which of the following conclusions can be drawn about Hedy Lamarr's acting career?

A. Hedy Lamarr wanted more opportunities to speak while acting.

B. Hedy Lamarr was content with her contribution to film

C. Hedy Lamarr worked in America films with MGM Studios

D. Hedy Lamarr was the first European actress of the 1930s

Answer Explanation

It can be concluded that Hedy Lamar wanted more opportunities to speak while acting as her acting career did not include more of spoken lines hence became boring for her.
