Suppose a man works six or seven days a week in a factory, trying to support his family, but never seems to be able to make ends meet. (2) If he analyzed his situation rationally, he would probably blame the well-to-do generally, and his employers specifically, for failing to pay him an adequate wage. (3) But these people have the power to cut off his income; to oppose them openly would be self-destructive. (4) He could also blame himself for his financial problems, but this too makes him uncomfortable. (5) Instead, he looks to the immigrants who have begun working in his factory. (6) He doesn’t really know them, but he suspects they’re willing to work for low wages and that many other immigrants are eager to take his job. (7) By a process of twisted logic, he blames these people for his poverty. (8) Soon he is exchanging rumors about “them” with his cronies and supporting efforts to close the border. (9) Hating immigrants makes the man and his friends feel a little better.

Determine the writer's view in the story: first, or third person.
clue: The word I is never used. 
The ability to manage money was never an issue. The statement of all workers are underpaid applies to his equals. The well to do was not defined in relation to the story. The man in this example thinks he is underpaid and has not shown his obligations, ie:  rent, food, taxes. Is everyone in his family in good health. If his brother worked in the same job with no financial obligations he could very well be a: "well to do."

An inference can be made from a text given the pieces of evidence that are available to us. What we can infer about the author's thoughts from the passage is that;

  • b. All factory workers are underpaid.

An inference is a conclusion that is reached based on facts and evidence that are available to us.

From this passage, we find that the author explicitly describes the man as underpaid. But we can also infer that he thinks that the other factory workers are underpaid too.

This is because of the fact that the man being described blamed the immigrants for accepting low wages.

This means that all the factory workers are underpaid but the immigrants are more willing to accept underpayment.

Therefore, sentence B is a correct inference about the author's thoughts.
