Thank you We sneak in and here's your shmoop too

00:05

sure brought to you by dining out during war time

00:08

Talk about your battle of the bulge What happens when

00:11

you got your sugar All right well we're reading about

00:15

restaurants again there's that charge citations and we're skim and

00:19

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
