Question

"At first he went daily, then every other day and finally once a week, to the offices of the Coal Corporation where he used to be a miner, to find out what was what. The only thing he did find out in the end was that that little house of his was even a greater blessing than he had thought. Some of his fellow ex-miners who had nowhere to return at the end of the day's waiting just slept outside the doors of the offices and cooked what meal they could scrounge together in Bournvita tins. As the weeks lengthened and still nobody could say what was what Jonathan discontinued his weekly visits altogether and faced his palm wine bar." After reading the excerpt, Student B writes this: "Jonathan realizes how lucky he is when he observes some of the ex-miners eating from Bournvita tins and sleeping outside the offices of the Coal Corporation." Which type of evidence describes the support in this student's response best? inferred details explicit details textual evidence personal connectio

Answer 1

Lucky are those who get to sleep in comfortable beds and work with respect.

There are people who have been working as coal miners for over 10's and 100's of years.

It is obvious that they have become increasingly vital especially during the initial Industrial ages when it was coal that was burnt openly on an extremely huge scale just to fuel vehicle and train engines.
