Hawthorne's most famous work was <em>The Scarlet Letter</em>.  In this novel, he decries Puritan society and exposes the hypocrisy in it.  The story follows a woman who is found to be an adulteress and is subsequently shunned from society.  However, each of the other members of her community are also sinners; they are quick to persecute her whilst not acknowledging their own flaws.  Hawthorne's leftover guilt from the Salem Witch Trials caused him to show the Puritans not as immaculate angels but as sinners like the rest.

Hope this helps!!

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Employers require a college degree for most jobs.

Employers want new hires to have skills and traits acquired in college.

Explanation:

In the given passage, Lola makes a claim that <em>"A college degree is necessary in today's world"</em>. This is because most employers want someone who is efficient in the skills and traits that are taught during the four years of college.

And so, people looking for jobs have to have atleast a college degree if they want/ expect to be hired by employers. Added to that, the skills that most employers are on the lookout are those that are taught in colleges, like <em>"perseverance, analytical skills, and the ability to communicate"</em>.

Thus, the two points that Lola presents to support her claim of people's need for college degrees are the second and fifth options.
