a) To live without having to work
Explanation:
<u>The two friends, George and the half witted Lennie here are fantasizing abut living a life in which they do not have to work and have plenty in their lives. </u>
This fantasy reveals that they are tired of going around town finding work and then getting scraps to eat, t<u>he vagabond life has taken a toll on them and they want to settle down in one place</u> where they will have plenty to eat and no worries about food without having to work for it all the time.

Before answering the question, it is convenient to mention that James Baldwin was a Black writer in the decade of the 50s and even though there were other Negro Writers in the literary world, they all suffered from racisms and social prosecution, the novel “<em>Notes of a native Son</em>” is an autobiography assembled from essays <em>James Baldwin </em>had written. In the novel the author intends to depict the hatred black people had to suffer at that time and it is overtly presented in the excerpt above, when the author mentions that: “…<em>the spoils of injustice, anarchy, discontent, and hatred were all around us.”</em>
Having mentioned the former, the sentence that best explains how the structure of the excerpt supports the author's purpose is: “<em>d.it interweaves elements of narrative and commentary to convey the message that hatred is destructive.” </em>With this sentence we can find the perfect reason for expressions like “<em>injustice, anarchy, discontent, and hatred “…the violence which rose all about us as my father left the world had been devised as a corrective for the pride of his eldest son.</em>” which are the main and strongest arguments presented in the excerpt, all the hatred and suffering that the author suffered for being a Negro at that time.
