We don't need birds, but we do need jobs. nature lovers are trying to keep dialys, a computer company, from building a new plant on the wildlife preserve. they say that the endangered bird species that lives there is more important than the economy. but it's jobs that are really endangered. last year, the american economy lost more than 10,000 jobs, and it just keeps getting worse. what claim is the author making in the passage? a. providing jobs is more important than protecting wildlife. b. the species of bird in question is not actually endangered. c. nature lovers are not practical people. d. birds can be dangerous in certain situations

for me, i'd go with (c) satisfied or (b) overjoyed because if you read it a couple of times, it makes since that it is c or b. it can't b (a) angry because booker was never angry about anything. at the end of the paragraph, booker states, "i think there are not many men in our country who have had the privilege of naming themselves in the way that i " i think that sentence kind of gives away the also, some words in the paragraph can also you like for example, "indulged," "calmly," "perplexity," "privilege," and defining words that you don't know, can you understand more of that paragraph and it can also increase your comprehension. : )

i think the correct answer is b. phrase
