Read the excerpt from "Good Country People." Mrs. Hopewell liked to tell people...how she had happened to hire the Freemans in t
he first place and how they were a godsend to her and how she had had them four years. The reason for her keeping them so long was that they were...good country people ...Before the Freemans she had averaged one tenant family a year...Mrs. Hopewell, who had divorced her husband long ago, needed someone to walk over the fields with her; and when Joy had to be impressed for these services, her remarks were usually so ugly and her face so glum... that Mrs. Hopewell would say, "If you can’t come pleasantly, I don’t want you at all," to which the girl, standing square and rigid-shouldered with her neck thrust slightly forward, would reply, "If you want me, here I am—LIKE I AM." Based on the excerpt, what inferences can be made about the story’s setting? It is located on a farm with many field hands and employees. It is located on a wide, isolated expanse of farmland. It is in a small town where everyone is friendly toward one another. It is in a deserted town in which mysterious events occur.
We are required to make an inference about Mrs Hopewell based on the story's settings.

The excerpt is about Mrs Hopewellneeding someone to walk over the fields with her. Mrs Hopewell divorced her husband long ago and she needed someone to walk with her on the field. Joy don't enjoy walking over the field with her.
This made her hire the Freeman. The freemans have been with her for about four years. Mrs Hopewell tells people how the Freeman was godsend to her because before she hired the <em>Freeman</em>, she usually average one tenant family per year.
Therefore, the inference that can be made from the excerpt is <em><u>"It is located on a wide, isolated expanse of farmland".</u></em>
the baker works 8 hour, subtract 1 hour(lunch break) and 30 mins(both breaks) and you get 6 1/2 hours. then you multiply 6 by 180(90 cookies in 30 mins= 180 cookies an hour). once you multiply that you should get 1080, then you add 90 for the half hour.
