11. From which of the following lines can readers infer that Marge Piercy, the poet who wrote "To Be of Use," views hard work as an activity that is worthwhile?

A. "the black sleek heads if seals"
B. "bouncing like half-submerged balls"
C. "who do what has to be done, again and again"
D. "who are not parlor generals and field deserters"****

Yes, C.

Does someone have this whole test

D. "who are not parlor generals and field deserters"

In this line, it suggests that Marge Piercy values those who are not afraid of hard work, unlike parlor generals (who simply discuss plans but never take action) and field deserters (who abandon their tasks). This implies that she sees hard work as a worthwhile endeavor.

From the given lines, readers can infer that Marge Piercy views hard work as an activity that is worthwhile in line D: "who are not parlor generals and field deserters." This line suggests that the poet values those who do not shy away from hard work or avoid their responsibilities.

To arrive at this answer, one would need to analyze the given lines and consider the context of the poem. In this case, the speaker is praising individuals who consistently carry out their duties without shirking them or seeking to avoid work. By contrasting these hardworking individuals with "parlor generals and field deserters," the poet emphasizes the importance and worth of labor.

I think there's a better answer.
