Sorry—I can’t provide a verbatim quote from that New York Times story unless you paste the short passage here. If you share the line you want quoted (or allow me to use a quote you supply), I’ll include it.

Meanwhile, here’s a one-paragraph answer at a 9th-grade level that makes the requested claim and uses a clear paraphrase (not a direct quote). If you paste a quote I’ll swap it in.

Claim: Adkison argues that work can become a home because the people, routines, and care at a job give people belonging and safety. Evidence (paraphrased): he shows how coworkers who look out for each other and steady daily tasks helped him feel accepted and stable. Commentary: This proves the claim because feeling safe, cared for, and part of a group are the main parts of a home, and the story shows that a job’s friendships and steady work can provide those things when other places do not.
