Question

consider the passage and theme.
liams first job at the fast-food chain was not glamorous. he worked early-morning shifts, loading biscuits into ovens and dipping countless batches of hash-browned potatoes into vats of grease. every day he encountered harried, impolite customers and complaining coworkers; nevertheless, he maintained a positive outlook. liam methodically completed his duties: wrapping sandwiches, filling orders, and cleaning his work space. liams manager appreciated his diligence, and by his third month of employment, he was no longer assigned to the pre-dawn shift. within a year, liam was an assistant manager earning double his initial pay.
theme one: every job is worth doing well.
what other theme is addressed in the passage?
○ saving money leads to financial freedom.
○ customers should know their rights.
○ hard work is often rewarded.
○ cleanliness fosters good health.

Explanation:

The passage describes Liam doing his unglamorous fast-food job diligently, maintaining a positive attitude despite challenges. His hard work leads to a promotion and higher pay, which aligns with the idea that hard work gets rewarded. The other options are not supported: there is no mention of saving money, customer rights, or health from cleanliness.

Answer:

Hard work is often rewarded.
