PLEASE HURRY. Between the two jobs, I would be making about $320 a week after taxes, so that the $179 in rent would have amounte

d to about 55 percent of my income, which is beginning to look “affordable.”(7) But Rainbow also falls through; they decide they want me to work part-time five days a week, not just on weekends. Furthermore, I have no control at the moment over what my days off will be. Howard has scheduled me to have Friday off one week, Tuesday and Wednesday the next, and I would have to do some serious sucking up to arrive at a more stable and congenial schedule.
Ergo, I either need to find a husband, like Melissa, or a second job, like some of my other coworkers. In the long run everything will work out if I devote my mornings to job-hunting, while holding out for a Park Plaza opening or, better yet, a legitimate apartment at $400 a month or $100 a week. But to paraphrase Keynes: in the long run, we’ll all be broke, at least those of us who work for low wages and live in exorbitantly overpriced motels.

(from page 170 of Nickel and Dimed)

In the excerpt above, the author suggests that she could “find a husband like Melissa.” What does this suggest?
A.
It takes two incomes for a household to make ends meet if you have a low-wage job.
B.
The author believes that men should be the breadwinners in a relationship.
C.
The author wants to point out how unscrupulous Melissa is.
D.
It is more important to find a husband than to find a good-paying job.
E.
Men have an easier time getting high-paying jobs than women, so Melissa is smart.

The “-“ would go between the words “anemone” and “the”. We do this because without placing the dash there, it would become a run-on sentence!
