Answer:
The sting that followed upon the striking of his fingers against his leg ceased so quickly that he was startled
Explanation:
The sentence in the excerpt that demonstrates a blunt portrayal of natural life is The sting that followed upon the striking of his fingers against his leg ceased so quickly that he was startled.
This shows that nature is indifferent to the suffering of humans. Nature tries to numb the man's fingers while he was about having a meal and despite the man's best efforts at gaining sensation to his fingers by striking his finger on his legs, it was useless because nature was unrelenting and indifferent to his suffering.

Answer: the LEAST effective replacement for the phrase "used great power": D) squandered great power
Explanation:
The phrase "used great power" <u>means that the Sacramento region </u><u>had great power/ great influence </u><u>in the decade of the 1850s.</u>
So <em>"applied great power", "exerted great power" and "employed great power" </em><u><em>could be considered synonyms of this phrase. </em></u>
The phrase "squandered great power" would be wrong to use in this context, because "to squander" means to "waste" and Sacramento wasn't wasting its power - quite the contrary, as it's said in the text Sacramento had a powerful voice -> "<em>Sacramento's influence was in large part due to its growth in commerce</em>, particularly that portion related to transportation".
