Question

1. how do paragraphs 21-25 contribute to the development of ideas in the article?

a. they make the point that migrant workers low status and exclusion from
community life are problematic in a democracy.

b. they argue that migrant workers are more likely to leave a community where they
feel their voice is not heard or respected.

c. they suggest that migrant workers will likely improve the democratic systems in the
communities where they work.

d. they maintain that the poor treatment of migrant workers reveals that the american
public is less compassionate than people often believe.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Discusses migrant workers' low status and exclusion being problematic in a democracy. This relates to the role of migrant workers in democratic communities, which is a key idea development.
• Option B: Focuses on migrant workers leaving communities, which is more about their response rather than idea development in the article's context.
• Option C: Suggesting migrant workers improve democratic systems is not a typical focus of such paragraphs (usually, the issue of their exclusion is highlighted, not their positive impact on democracy).
• Option D: Talks about American public's compassion, which is not the main idea development related to migrant workers' role in the article.

So, Option A is the most appropriate as it addresses the problematic nature of migrant workers' exclusion in a democratic setup, contributing to the article's ideas.

Answer:

A. They make the point that migrant workers' low status and exclusion from community life are problematic in a democracy.
