D. I mean think about it, the farmers want the land right? They died and lived off of it so they want whoever is trying to take it away to see how much they need it.. Go with it fam, and try to understand. Also...use a dictionary.
D. By referring to how farmers "died on" and are "dying on" the land, the author conveys sympathy toward the tenant farmers for being displaced.
Explanation:
He is trying to make a decent claim to the actual fact that the land is property of those who worked on it, and grew on it, that a piece of paper doesn´t have anything on the fact that men died and lived for that land. And by stating that men are actually dying on the land he draws simpathy from the reader, to persuade the reader to think like him.
