what is the best inference you can make about letty?
a. letty finally gets to sit down when shes at the factory.
b. letty doesnt make a lot of money waitressing.
c. letty is not a good waitress because shes tired.
d. letty prefers factory work to waitressing.

Explanation:

• Option A: The text states she rests her feet at school, not the factory. This is incorrect.
• Option B: The text notes early waitressing customers don't tip well, and she needs two jobs + school, so she likely earns little from waitressing. This is valid.
• Option C: No information about her skill as a waitress is given, only that she is tired. This is incorrect.
• Option D: No preference between the two jobs is stated; she works both out of necessity. This is incorrect.

Answer:

B. Letty doesn't make a lot of money waitressing.
