Regarding Tom's first job, which statement is accurate?

• A. He dislikes it
• B. He does not mind it
• C. He quits immediately
• D. He loves it

Answer: (B)

Tom is shown approaching work as a practical step to get by, not as something he loves or hates. He takes the first job in a steady, matter-of-fact way, doing what needs to be done without strong emotion. That neutral, accepting stance is why the statement that he does not mind it fits best: it captures his pragmatic focus on survival and responsibility rather than intense feelings about the work. Since the text does not present him quitting immediately or declaring profunda enthusiasm, the other options don’t align with the portrayal of his attitude; he’s steady and purposeful, not driven by strong likes or dislikes. This reflects his character as resilient and practical in tough times.
