Question

read this part of the text. what does the phrase
ot worth his salt\ mean?
a not having the time to do something
b not drinking enough water
c not moving very much
d not worth what he is being paid
salt became very valuable. in some places, people started to fight over it. some people would trade salt for enslaved people. some would pay soldiers with salt. thats how we got the word \salary.\ (\sal\ means salt in latin.) people said a bad soldier was
ot worth his salt.\ we still use that saying today.

Explanation:

The text says salt was used to pay soldiers (leading to "salary"). A "bad soldier" was "not worth his salt"—since salt was their payment, this means the soldier wasn't worth the payment (salt) they received. Options A, B, C don't relate to payment/salt's value as salary.

Answer:

D. not worth what he is being paid
