Answer:

A.“The unique nature of California agriculture requires that these migrants exist, and requires that they move about. Peaches and grapes, hops and cotton cannot be harvested by a resident population of laborers.” (Paragraph 3).

B.“The migrants are needed, and they are hated. Arriving in a district they find the dislike always meted out by the resident to the foreigner, the outlander.” (Paragraph 4)

Explanation:

According to a different source, Part A of this question asks what the central idea of this text is. The answer is: "Despite the hostility toward migrant workers and their difficult life experiences, their work is essential to the success of the nation’s agriculture industry."

Therefore, these are the details that best support this central idea.

In the first answer, we see that the author explains how essential the work of migrants is for the nation's agricultural industry. He also argues that this work could not be done by anyone else. In the second answer, the author argues that while migrants are needed in the country, they are also hated by the people around them.
