Read the following paragraph from a speech by a state governor. When I was a child, I lived on a farm with my grandparents.
We were poor
- so poor that the poor people in town felt
sorry for us. But I learned a lot on that farm about working
hard, doing your job with integrity, and taking care of
others. I am proud today to present these medals for
distinguished community service to my fellow citizens.
How does the narrator's discussion of his childhood support the last
sentence of his speech?
A. It shows that farming is an apt metaphor for community service.
B. It shows that, like the award recipients, he understands what it
means to serve the community.
C. It shows that he, like the award recipients, is grateful to have
escaped the hardships of his childhood.
D. It shows that he knows very little about the hardships that the
award recipients have endured.
