Excerpt of The Grapes of Wrath:
And men with hoses squirt kerosene on the oranges, and
they are angry at the crime, angry at the people who have
come to take the fruit. A million people hungry, needing the
fruit-and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains.
And the smell of rot fills the country.
The answer is A.
The narrator mainly feels bitter toward those he interacts with in town.
I'm not sure I understand the question, but the grammatically correct answer is A.) Louder.
The title could be interpreted as a story about a man's dream and the confusion of was he dreaming or did it actually happen. Or it could be interpreted as a delusion a man had and he is having trouble figuring out the difference between reality or imagination.
I believe the answer is climax because the excerpt seems to be describing the main conflict of the story which happens during the climax.
