Question

2. The excerpt mentions that George travelled from Minneapolis to the Pacific Ocean to collect salt water. With this in mind, explain why it is unlikely that George truly produced everything he needed to make the sandwich himself. Give an example that supports your reasoning.

Answer 1

Answer:

George had many perishable ingredients of organic origin to make the sandwich. We can see this when he says he planted and harvested all the vegetables necessary to carry out the project.

He probably needed conservation processes and equipment that would keep these products good during the six months of project execution. George did not build the conservation equipment, nor did he create the conservative methods that the equipment uses, which shows how unlikely he was to do the project completely on his own.
