According to historian Vicki L. Ruiz, Mexican American women made crucial contributions to the labor movement during World War II. At the time, food processing companies entered into contracts to supply United States armed forces with canned goods. Increased production quotas conferred greater bargaining power on the companies’ employees, many of whom were Mexican American women: employees insisted on more favorable benefits, and employers, who were anxious to fulfill the contracts, complied. Thus, labor activism became a platform for Mexican American women to assert their agency. Which choice best describes the function of the underlined portion in the text as a whole?

  • A) It elaborates on a claim about labor relations in a particular industry made earlier in the text.
  • B) It offers an example of a trend in the World War II
  • C) It notes a possible exception to the historical narrative of labor activism sketched earlier in the text.
  • D) It provides further details about the identities of the workers discussed earlier in the text.
