00:05

jour Check the following passage and yeah we've read this

00:09

right Yeah remember then holding thing about recording We're done

00:17

All right When master thomas offers the author a small

00:20

part of the money that he has earned the author

00:22

feels what And here the potential answers All right so

00:26

tom's offers small part right Like a royalty right Okay

00:30

Well in paragraph one douglas tells us that master thomas

00:33

sometimes gave him six cents out of every six dollars

00:36

that douglas earned It sounds like a bum deal to

00:38

us but we need to know what douglas thought Right

00:41

so option c definitely does not make the cut Master

00:44

thomas might have thought he was being downright progressive but

00:47

douglas didn't think that totally ripping somebody off was well

00:51

all that kind answer b is wrong Teo Yeah douglas

00:54

didn't have a way to make any other money whatsoever

00:57

That doesn't mean he didn't know he was getting the

00:59

short end of a seriously crappy stick All right we

01:04

thomas thought that the six cents would encourage douglas toe

01:08

Work harder however this incentive plan didn't do much to

01:11

inspire douglas go figure Well the correct answer is d

01:14

in paragraph one douglas specifically says that instead of encouraging

01:17

him the six cents had the opposite effect He felt

01:20

like if he was entitled to six cents then he

01:22

was entitled to the whole amount Douglas was like well

01:26

how about six dollars in some basic freedoms while you're 00:01:28.978 --> [endTime] at it
