Answer 1

Answer:

D, i think D is the right answer

Explanation:

because part of the excerpt is about the value of money to these people. Which means its not A  the excerpt doesn't talk about keeping families together so its not B it has nothing to do with lessons learned so its not C that leaves D because it can be implied that the son is leaving his mother to work with this man but he is not giving up an dignity and neither is his mother.
