Answer:
B. All South Africans share a connection to a beautiful land and have the opportunity for new beginnings.
Explanation:
Here's the excerpt you provided. I highlighted some key words that helped me arrive at B.
“Each time <u>one of us</u> touches the <u>soil of this land</u>, we feel a sense of <u>personal</u> <u>renewal.</u> The national mood changes as the seasons change.”
The author says that "All South Africans share a connection" by using the word "<em>us</em> " rather than "<em>I</em>." He talks about a sense of "<em>renewal</em>." Renewal is another word for rebirth or "new beginnings." Thus, choice B makes the most sense.
It is irony. Normally, when someone is unusually prompt, they are early. However, the speaker is using irony to say that her doctor is always late.

than in a mountain cabin.</span>
Parallel structure refers to having the same
structure or parts of speech in the same sequence and function. In the sentence,
the parallel structure that needs to be paired with is “in a big city” which is
a prepositional phrase; so, the choice that has the same format is “in a
mountain cabin” which is also a prepositional phrase. “To go,” “staying,” and “being”
are obviously different for they are either an infinitive phrase or participial
phrase.
Without a coat is preposition in " Don't go (without a coat)".
