In line 19, the author refers to the Occupy Wall Street protesters as "losers." Does the author really think that the Occupy Wall Street protesters are "losers." Cite text evidence to support your answer.

No, the author does not really think that the Occupy Wall Street protesters are 'losers.'

Explanation:

'Who Speaks For The 1%?' is an article written by Joel Stein. The article is a satire and author takes a satirical stab at speaking for 1%.

In line 19, when the author refers to the Occupy Wall Street protesters aas 'losers', he did not literally mean to call them losers. The article is a satirical dig at 1%, whom the author considers, in some way, responsible for economic crisis in the country.

The next line furthers the satire when the author states that the 1%-ers are not able to take stand for themselves.

'...the 1% are  available for some serious networking. But when I started talking to them, I  learned that for all their supposed power, they are now too afraid to stand up  for themselves.'

the correct answer is a "it describes nora and mrs. linde's relationship". opcions b and d are not related to the content of the passage in any way. option c could be appropiate but it does not fully capture the effect of the dialogue, while option a is quite appropiate, since the dialogue not only exemplifies the relationship between the characters, but it also captures the effect in the excerpt. we get to know that mrs linde bosses around and already knows nora.

i think the correct answer is b. phrase
