Question

select the text from the paragraph that best helps you understand that embezzling means stealing from the workplace. there may be more than one correct choice.

before the end of 1955, most people had never heard of minnie mangum. she had worked for many years at a bank in norfolk, virginia. she was known for being generous with her friends, but she was by no means famous. that changed on december 29, 1955. mangum was arrested for embezzling about three million dollars. the money that she had taken from the bank was used to buy eighty - five cars for friends and family. she had also paid for homes and many other gifts for friends and family members. she was sentenced to twenty years in prison.

Explanation:

To understand that embezzling means stealing from the workplace, we look for text that shows taking money from a work - related place. The sentence "The money that she had taken from the bank was used to buy eighty - five cars for friends and family" is relevant. Since she worked at the bank (her workplace), taking money from the bank and using it for personal/family/friends' benefits shows the act of stealing from the workplace, which helps define embezzling. Also, "Mangum was arrested for embezzling about three million dollars" combined with the context of her working at the bank and taking money from it helps. But the most direct one showing the workplace (bank) and stealing is "The money that she had taken from the bank was used to buy eighty - five cars for friends and family" (and also "Mangum was arrested for embezzling about three million dollars" as it's linked to the bank where she worked).

Answer:

• "Mangum was arrested for embezzling about three million dollars."
• "The money that she had taken from the bank was used to buy eighty - five cars for friends and family."
• "She had also paid for homes and many other gifts for friends and family members." (Note: The first two are more direct in showing the workplace (bank) and the act of taking money (stealing) from it to use for non - work purposes, which defines embezzling as stealing from the workplace.)
