Answer:

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.

Answer:

The author uses words such as foundations and trowellings to suggest Oliver's expertise.

Explanation:

The excerpt shows that Oliver had little money but had fantasies which he craved to satisfy. One of his fantasies was his desire to own a house. He was skilled in the art of building and this is reflected in how he used his great hands to lay the foundations.

Trowels are small flat metal blades with short handles used in scooping mixtures while painting. Oliver made smooth trowellings while building, an indication that he was also a skilled worker. The result of his expertise can be seen in the outcome of the building which was quite good.
