Hello!! I, personally, think it's A. Direct.
Answer:
The author couldn't follow his dreams because of the job market failure. He was an English major and wanted to be a writer but couldn't get the job. He tried for several months to get a job with no luck until he heard about an opening in a newspaper business. Nobody wanted the job so he took it. He didn't believe he could be a reporter because he never thought about it before. He wanted to write, not ask questions.
The failure of the job market shaped a motivator externally in the short story. If the job market was thriving, he would have probably found a writing job somewhere else instead of the reporter job he took. He would have never found his true passion for reporting with the failure.

Explanation:
"Cave Art May Have Been Handiwork of Neanderthals" is an article written by Christopher Joyce. The article speaks about the new discoveries that scientists have made regarding cave art situated in Spain.
The author said in the article that these arts in the cave found in Spain were first attributed to Africans and that the arts must have been painted some 45,000 years ago. But with new technology, scientists are claiming that these arts are the work of some 65,000 years ago and at that time Neanderthals were assumed to exist. So, scientists with new technologies have proved their previous claims false.
<u>In the conclusive paragraph of his article, that is paragraph 17, Joyce says that the final credit of these arts depends on the new technologies. This means that the technologies used by scientists to date the cave art are not accurate</u>.
So, the correct answer is option D.
Hello. You did not indicate the text you are referring to, nor did you enter the answer options, which makes it impossible for this question to be answered. But I will try to help you by showing you how to find inferences supported by the text.
An inference is a conclusion about something, which is drawn from evidence and supporting details that the text exposes. In other words, an inference is a conclusion that you can draw from the interpretation of the text.
In this case, for you to find the inference in the text, you must recognize what the characteristics of Mrs. Song are portrayed in the text. For example, if Mrs. Song is a person who, in the text, is portrayed as someone who is always helping the needy and participating in charity and community events, we can infer that she is a charitable and progressive person.
