looking for key words and other chart or citations and
- 00:22
funny words stick out in this white castle Nineteen twenty
- 00:26
one happened the obesity and we're done all right so
- 00:32
which choice gives us the strongest evidence for the answer
- 00:35
to the previous question uh what was that And here
- 00:38
the potential answers All right Wait here we go Another
- 00:44
two parter works much better is a multiple choice question
- 00:47
than it is a hairstyle It's alright so refresh your
- 00:50
time What was the previous question We didn't write these
- 00:52
from the test prep people Oh right way We're trying
- 00:55
to figure out why people were attracted to urban areas
- 00:58
after world war two and we determined that it was
- 01:00
because of the platitude of factory jobs So now we're
- 01:04
being asked to pinpoint the lines in the passage that
- 01:07
back up that idea well first up option a line
- 01:11
starting with the restaurants and ending with after world war
- 01:15
two so that we don't have to guess at what's
- 01:17
hidden there in those sneaky lip sees let's scan the
- 01:21
passage and find full line So here we go the
- 01:24
restaurant's we eat at today in the united states air
- 01:26
truly modern spaces though having matured in a short span
- 01:30
after world war two Well ok but this seems to
- 01:32
be talking more about how restaurants have changed over time
- 01:35
since the years following the war and doesn't really support
- 01:38
the idea that the reason they sprung up in the
- 01:40
first place is that boat Loads of people were flooding
- 01:42
into the city and were money hungry You would be
- 01:45
to spend fourteen hours a day attaching thingamajigs Do what
- 01:49
Uma collins All right what about di Prior to this
- 01:51
period eating have been a slow leisurely routine grounded in
- 01:55
the homely nous of rural life But it now has
- 01:59
become a matter of expediency Okay so we're backto how
- 02:02
restaurants have evolved Great Look let'sjust clans and a quick
- 02:06
charge and call it a day All right excellent Now
- 02:09
we know how restaurants learn how to stand erect Still
- 02:14
doesn't tell us anything about why they became such a
- 02:16
big deal I can throw d down the garbage disposal
- 02:20
and there's be the locus of industry moved from rural
- 02:23
to agrarian to industrialize production a nice history lesson But
- 02:28
again while it's imparting information it's still not imparting the
- 02:32
information we're looking for here way Get that industry became
- 02:35
or industrialized But why And bingo options He gets it
- 02:40
right mr man drew young people many of them single
- 02:43
men to the cities Finally here's the part of the
- 02:46
passengers that lends the needed support to our answer to
- 02:49
the prior question The demand being referenced is the need
- 02:52
for factory workers And once there were more workers there
- 02:56
was more of a need for a grub factories And
- 03:00
that is why today there are so many places you
- 03:02
can go to teo get food or whatever it is
- 03:05
the talk of elser So
