"Sweating in the heat, we had lost the whole day, dreading to be buried alive in the drifting sand." &  <span>"Sand in the scanty food, sand in the brackish water—water that was drunk lukewarm from a clammy, loathsome water-skin."</span>

"Sand in the scanty food, sand in the brackish water—water that was drunk lukewarm from a clammy, loathsome water-skin."

This is shows that nature is severe and unkind because sand is getting into the food and water. Also the water is being described as brackish. Brackish water is not pleasant to drink and it can sometimes contain salt water too.

"Sweating in the heat, we had lost the whole day, dreading to be buried alive in the drifting sand. "

This passage also shows the nature's unkindness and severity. It talks about how the heat is terrible and they risk the sands (or nature) swallowing them up.

The other passages are not correct. The first passage described the Arab Sheikh pressing them on...this is not nature. The third option describes nature as pleasant and enjoyable which is the opposite of severe and unkind.

it is not a matter of inference

the reason for Tan believing that "nonstandard English is no less valid than standard English" is related to the fact that Standard English’  was considered as a  form of the English language, universal or common in the nineteenth century. By the 1930s, however, it was  associated with social class and was seen by many as the language of the educated. On the contrary, speakers from lower classes in the past and today, tend to use nonstandard dialect features  because they are more likely to have left education earlier, have non-professional jobs and  have no need to associate themselves with a ‘prestige’ way of speaking.
