Read the excerpt from "The Work You Do, The Person You Are."
In those days, the forties, children were not just loved or liked; they were needed. They could earn money; they could care for children younger than themselves; they could work the farm, take care of the herd, run errands, and much more. I suspect that children aren’t needed in that way now. They are loved, doted on, protected, and helped. Fine, and yet . . .
What can you infer about Morrison's decision to contrast the different details of this excerpt?
A.She wants to create a picture of capable children to show they can be working members of a household.
B.She wants to list the chores performed by children in the forties to suggest they were overworked by their parents.
C.She wants to show her appreciation for how well today's children are cared for by their parents to show how times have changed.
D.She wants to suggest that during the forties parents had so many problems they were unable to properly care for their children.
