In this passage, Beth Schulman is discussing the aspect of workers in nursing homes, retail stores, hotels, and child care and their pay in relation to the importance of their work.

Now, let's look at each option and see if they align with the main idea. a) well paid considering that their work is not very important: This option contradicts the text, which states that the workers' work is important. So, this is not the correct answer. b) lucky they have jobs at all: This option does not address the relationship between pay and work importance. So, this is not the correct answer. c) doing important work, but not being paid enough money: This option correctly highlights the main idea, i.e., the workers are doing important work, but not getting fair compensation for it. This is the correct answer. d) not well paid, but generally well regarded by their employers: This option focuses on how the workers are regarded by their employers, which is not the main point of the passage. So, this is not the correct answer.

The correct answer is option c) doing important work, but not being paid enough money, which accurately reflects the main idea of the passage related to workers in nursing homes, retail stores, hotels, and child care.
