Carefully read the excerpt to investigate the character of Reverend Mr. Dimmesdale. Such was the young man whom the Reverend Mr.
Andrew [12]

Answer:

A.He feels inadequate for the task.

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

A.He feels inadequate for the task.

B.He is eager to condemn Hester for her crime.

C.He is fearful of Hester’s response.

D.He desires to help Hester confess her sin.

In this text, we learn that Reverend Mr. Dimmesdale is introduced to the crowd as an expert on the matter at hand. He is being asked by Mr. Wilson and the Governor to speak about matters of the heart, and in particular, those of women. We learn that this task is of a "trying nature," which implies that Mr. Dimmesdale finds it really difficult. Moreover, we also learn that this situation leads him to lose colour on his cheeks and make his lips tremulous. These are all signs of nervousness, so we can assume that Mr. Dimmesdale feels that he is inadequate to the task.

Read the excerpt from Fast Food Nation.
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

taking advantage of people to save money

Explanation:

"Fast Food Nation" is a book by Eric Schlosser that gives an insight on the way fast food industry in USA works, from the life of farmers, functioning of the farms to the business mechanisms and food processing.

This particular excerpt deals with employees in the fast food industry, or, more precise, the reason why the teenagers and the young adults make up the majority of workers in the industry. Inexperienced workers will work with lower wages and will be easier to control, which means that the industry is taking advantage of their lack of work experience and exploiting the workers in order to save some money, increasing the profit in that way.
