  When a man fights that hard for a comeback, who wants to tell him he can't handle his old job? On the other hand, what can you do with a salesman who can't move around and can work only an hour a day? (i) Describe the context of the current extract. (ii) What is the problem of the authorities? (iii) Are they right or wrong? How?

Answer:

                  (i) Hooper has asked the authorities to let him work, thus posing problems for them. (ii) They can't ask Hooper not to work nor can they retain a salesman, who can't move around and is capable of working only an hour a day. (iii) They are wrong. They should let him work as he wants. There is no harm in doing it.
