Not sure what you mean here
Even though I haven't read the story, based on textual clues in these sentences I would say the correct answer is <span>B. “The waiting man pulled out a handsome watch, the lids of it set with small diamonds.”
The reason why is that you can't really have a watch lined with diamonds unless you've worked really hard to get it. This man has hustled his whole life and in the end, he has done well for himself in life, which is evident by his expensive watch. </span><span>

Summary
In the same riverbed where the story began, it is a beautiful, serene late afternoon. A heron stands in a shaded green pool, eating water snakes that glide between its legs. Lennie comes stealing through the undergrowth and kneels by the water to drink. He is proud of himself for remembering to come here to wait for George but soon has two unpleasant visions. His Aunt Clara appears “from out of Lennie’s head” and berates him, speaking in Lennie’s own voice, for not listening to George, for getting himself into trouble, and for causing so many problems for his only friend. Then a gigantic rabbit appears to him, also speaking in Lennie’s own voice, and tells him that George will probably beat him and abandon him. Just then, George appears. He is uncommonly quiet and listless. He does not berate Lennie. Even when Lennie himself insists on it, George’s tirade is unconvincing and scripted. He repeats his usual words of reproach without emotion. Lennie makes his usual offer to go away and live in a cave, and George tells him to stay, making Lennie feel comforted and hopeful. Lennie asks him to tell the story of their farm, and George begins, talking about how most men drift along, without any companions, but he and Lennie have one another. The noises of men in the woods come closer, and George tells Lennie to take off his hat and look across the river while he describes their farm. He tells Lennie about the rabbits and promises that nobody will ever be mean to him again. “Le’s do it now,” Lennie says. “Le’s get that place now.” George agrees. He raises Carlson’s gun, which he has removed from his jacket, and shoots Lennie in the back of the head. As Lennie falls to the ground and becomes still, George tosses the gun away and sits down on the riverbank.
Answer: The woman within the poem is comparing her life to a stair case.
Explanation:
At the beginning of the poem, she immediately states "Life for me ain't been no crystal stair." Comparing her life to that of a staircase with no problems and then explaining her life was far from having no issues.
As the poem continues she explains that "her staircase" has splintered, torn up boards, and bare. These things imply issues she has when living her own life. She uses anaologies such as imperfections and darkness in "her staircase" in order to enhance the comparison to her life or staircase.
