Read the passage from “The Penny May Be Worthless, But Let’s Keep It Anyway.”

Question

While killing off the penny may seem like a slam-dunk case, the reason we haven’t is pretty straightforward: People love their Lincolns, as President Obama alluded to in a 2013 interview.

When polled about their feelings in 2014, the majority of U.S. individuals oppose the elimination of either the penny or the nickel. In fact, more than two-thirds said if they saw a penny on the ground, they’d stop to pick it up (which the New Yorker estimated in 2006 would take 6.15 seconds and pay less than the federal minimum wage).

What is the author’s claim in this passage?

Pennies are worth making because people like them.
Pennies are not worth the time it takes to pick them up
President Obama urged people to keep the penny.
The penny is still worth the time of picking it up off the ground.
