5. What would this author's attitude likely be towards a person unable to find employment?

• A. Descriptive
• B. Conciliatory
• C. Ingenuous
• D. Incredulous

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The author's likely attitude towards a person unable to find employment would be incredulous. The passage emphasizes the abundance of job opportunities in the United States and suggests that finding employment should not be difficult for those willing to work. The author believes that with the numerous avenues of success and available vocations, anyone who is willing to engage in a respectable occupation should be able to find lucrative employment. Therefore, the author would find it hard to believe or be skeptical towards someone who claims they cannot find a job. Choice A, 'Descriptive,' is incorrect as the author's attitude is more judgmental than just describing a situation. Choice B, 'Conciliatory,' is incorrect as the author does not show any intention to reconcile or make peace with the situation of unemployment. Choice C, 'Ingenuous,' is incorrect as this term means innocent or naive, which does not align with the author's likely attitude of disbelief towards unemployment.
