Correct. The answer is c. Harvey reported, “Labor force was critical at that time so I went to United Modification Plant and learned how to rivet,” which implies that she went to work in order to strengthen the labor force and the war effort. She also said, “My mother decided after a while that she too would like to do something in some little way to help. So she applied for maintenance [in the factory].” This statement reinforces the notion that she and her mother joined the factory workforce in an effort to aid in the war.
