Read the passage below and answer the question.



The centipede always wondered why he moved so slowly when, after all, he had a hundred legs. He thought about this question day and night. One day, as he was inching along, moving all one hundred legs as fast as he possibly could, a snake slithered past him. “Sss,” said the snake, “what a ssslowpoke.” “Hello to you, too,” replied the centipede, keeping his eyes to the ground. “I am fasster than you, and I have no legss at all. Ha, ha!” With that, the snake raced off, leaving the poor centipede in tears. The snake was so busy laughing and speeding along that he did not notice the boy carrying a container. “Cool! A garter snake! I wanted to find a centipede, but a snake will make a much better exhibit at the science fair!” The centipede smiled and did a little hundred-legged jig. “Sometimes slower is better,” he thought.

Item 2
(1) The saying goes, “Find a penny, pick it up. (2) All day long, you’ll have good luck.” (3) According to economists, however, stopping to pick up a penny is a waste of time: for those few seconds of “work,” you earn less than minimum wage. (4) Considering that the penny has virtually no purchasing power, it does nothing except add unnecessary weight to our pockets and purses. (5) The United States should follow the lead of other countries and discontinue the penny, because it is obsolete and costs more than it is worth.

(6) The penny has become useless as a means of exchange. (7) As economist Greg Mankiw says, “When people start leaving a monetary unit at the cash register for the next customer, the unit is too small to be useful.” (8) Pennies once had notable value, but decades of increasing prices sapped their individual buying power, and today you can’t even use them in vending machines or parking meters. (9) It’s no wonder that pennies get tossed in fountains, forgotten under sofa cushions, or abandoned on the sidewalk.

(10) In 2001, it cost 0.79 cents to make a penny, but now, with metal costs increasing, the cost has changed in a noteworthy way. (11) Thus, the United States Mint loses money for every penny it produces; in 2014, for instance, it lost $55 million producing pennies. (12) They also waste retailers’ and consumers’ time. (13) A recent study showed that counting pennies at the register adds an average of two seconds to every cash transaction. (14) This adds up to about 2.4 hours a year for the average American.

(15) Penny defenders fear that rounding prices to the nearest nickel will result in higher prices for consumers. (16) However, other countries, such as Canada and New Zealand, have successfully retired the penny without a significant increase in prices. (17) Moreover, the United States retired the half cent in 1857 when it lost its value and saw no ill effects in the economy.

(18) Despite the compelling reasons to get rid of the penny, nearly half of Americans oppose the idea. (19) In 2013, President Obama acknowledged that people have a sentimental attachment to the penny.

In sentence 19 (reproduced below), the writer wants to change the conclusion by adding a direct quotation that both reinforces the main argument of the passage and places that argument in a broader context.

In 2013, President Obama acknowledged that people have a sentimental attachment to the penny.
