I had started my research on the mines with the goal of writing about the mine itself; the look and feel of the mine, and the coal it produced that helped fuel machinery and heat homes. However, in the end, my book ended up being more about the miners than the mines. Most miners endured long and hard hours of working underground, and without receiving much pay. Perhaps Marybeth Anderson said it best when she called the underground mines, “a great place to visit, but not somewhere I’d want to work” (Anderson 121).
Within the last paragraph of the author's speech, he uses the words mine and mines repeatedly. Why does the author repeat these words so frequently?
A) The author found out that most miners endured long and hard hours of working underground.
B) The author seeks to emphasize the importance of mines and their unique workplace environment.
C) The author had fond memories of the mines because he had explored them several times while growing up.
D) The author had intended for his research to be about the "mines," but was surprised to find out that the mines are nothing special without the coalminers.

Answer:

i believe it is b, The author seeks to emphasize the importance of mines and their unique workplace environment.

Read the excerpt from Outcasts United.

The conversation with Jeremiah settled Luma's mind on the question of Ashton's: it was time for her to admit her failure and walk away. But while the failure of Ashton's hurt Luma's ego, it was also an opportunity to focus her life on more important things. She wanted to start a business that could employ women like Beatrice, paying them fairly without making them commute halfway across Atlanta by bus or train.

Luma’s decision to walk away from Ashton’s supports the theme

“New businesses can be just as successful as old ones.”
“Helping others is more important than a successful business.”
“Luma’s ego was no longer telling her what she needed to do.”
“Businesses that help others are better than ones that do not.”

Study: ‘High Incomes Don’t Bring You Happiness’
By Caitlin Kenney 2010
People often have conflicting ideas about whether or not money can buy happiness. Some believe that the lifestyle that money can offer is equivalent to happiness, while others fear that money can lead to greediness that can never be satisfied. In this study, psychologist Daniel Kahneman and economist Angus Deaton seek the answer to this question. As you read, take notes on the different definitions of happiness that exist and how they are affected by money.
How much money do you think it would take to make you happy? Would an extra $10,000 a year do it or would it take a $100,000 salary bump to improve your mood?
A new study from Princeton economist Angus Deaton and psychologist Daniel Kahneman suggests that number depends on how you define happiness. The authors draw a distinction1 between emotional well-being, “the quality of a person’s everyday experience such as joy, fascination, anxiety, sadness, anger, and affection” and life evaluation “a person’s thoughts about his or her life (on a longer time scale).”
Their study of data from the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index found that while “life evaluations rise steadily with income,” emotional well being drops off at about $75,000 a year.
Beyond $75,000, money is important for life evaluation, but does nothing for happiness, enjoyment, sadness, or stress. Both factors are important; it is good to have high emotional wellbeing, but it is also good to think your life is going well.
According to the most recent census2 data, the median US household income was $52,000 in 2008, with about a third of households making above $75,000.
Text-Dependent Questions Directions: For the following questions, choose the best answer or respond in complete sentences.
1. PART A: What statement best identifies the central idea of the text?
A. Money makes people happy above anything else.
B. “Emotional wellbeing” is solely dependent on wealth.
C. Money plays only a very minor role in people's overall happiness.
D. Money is able to influence people’s happiness to an extent.
2. PART B: Which detail from the text best supports the answer to Part A?
A. “would it take a $100,000 salary bump to improve your mood?” (Paragraph 1)
B. “Beyond $75,000, money is important for life evaluation, but does nothing for happiness,” (Paragraph 4)
C. “it is good to have high emotional wellbeing, but it is also good to think your life is going well.” (Paragraph 4)
D. “the median US household income was $52,000 in 2008, with about a third of households making above $75,000.” (Paragraph 5)
3. PART A: What does paragraph 5 suggest about the "emotional wellbeing"? of an individual with the median household income in 2008?
A. The average household in the US would be happier with a higher income.
B. Only “life evaluation” would increase with a higher income.
C. Some people in the United States make too much money and it’s harmful to average Americans.
D. Increasing the average household’s income would decrease the country’s overall “emotional wellbeing.”
4. PART B: Which section from the text best supports the answer to Part A?
A. “number depends on how you define happiness.” (Paragraph 2)
B. “’life evaluations rise steadily with income,’” (Paragraph 3)
C. “emotional well being drops off at about $75,000 a year.” (Paragraph 3)
D. “Beyond $75,000, money is important for life evaluation,” (Paragraph
