Question 1 • NC-English Language Arts 11

Which three reasons does Schlosser give to support his claim that the fast-food industry resembles the manufacturing business? Check the box next to each correct answer.

Answer
A
Both industries promote “throughput.”
B
Both industries value teenage workers.
C
Both industries stress consistency and standardization.
D
Workers are interchangeable.
E
McDonald’s was based on the idea of “throughput” since its business began.

Explanation

Schlosser compares fast-food restaurants to factories because both aim to move products and customers through quickly, keep the product and process consistent, and use workers who can be readily replaced or assigned the same tasks. These ideas match “throughput,” consistency and standardization, and interchangeable workers. The focus is on how the industries organize production, not simply on employing teenagers or on McDonald’s original business idea.
