Answer:

The correct answer is a. Like Harburg, many expected that they could maintain their possessions through the Depression.

Explanation:

E. Y. -Yip- Harburg was an American songwriter, known by working with many popular artists as well as movies; he is the author of <em>Over the Rainbow</em>, from <em>The Wizard of Oz</em>.

The correct answer is letter A since the excerpt could be divided in two different ideas: the first one describes the American dream, compared with the Rock of Gibraltar due to the idea of its strength; there are some other elements that reinforce this idea, such as the marble outside of houses and the though of permanence. The second idea is the last sentence, where everything vanishes into nothing by exploding. This way, it is understood that many people expected to keep their possessions, but it did not happen.
