question 6 of 10
which of these stories fits the model of the american dream?

a. daughter of a famous producer becomes a popular movie star

b. wealthy immigrants send their children to an elite boarding school

c. middle - class salesman buys his family a home after 20 years of
hard work

d. uneducated woman stays in same low - paying job for 20 years

Explanation:

The American Dream typically involves achieving upward social or economic mobility through hard work, often from a middle - class or lower - class starting point. Option A involves using family connections (not the typical American Dream of self - made success). Option B starts with wealth, so it's not the rags - to - (relative) riches or middle - class advancement through hard work. Option C shows a middle - class salesman working hard for 20 years to buy a home for his family, which fits the idea of achieving a better life through hard work. Option D shows no upward mobility, so it doesn't fit.

Answer:

C. Middle - class salesman buys his family a home after 20 years of hard work
