Many People Who Look at the Careers of Mexican Gardeners

Many people who look at the careers of Mexican gardeners in Los Angeles see them as dirty workers, people who blow leaves around, work in the dirt, and do exploited, unskilled, subordinated work. Yet, Ramirez and Handagneu-Sotelo paint a possibly more optimistic view of these people. Which of the following most accurately represents this idea?

A) Despite the common opinion of these people, they receive a great deal of emotional satisfaction by working with their hands and watching gardens flourish.
B) Mexican gardeners are often independent operators, running their own businesses, owning their own tools and trucks, and offering them the possibility of upward mobility through their labor.
C) Mexican gardeners understand that these jobs are the only ones they can get in America, and they are thankful for any money they can make to support their families.
D) The authors of this article believe that Mexican gardeners suffer from "false consciousness," and despite the fact that they may be happy, there is no escaping the idea that they are exploited laborers.
