<em>Even the answer choice's clarification mentions "the claim": </em>

So, shouldn't alternative "author say" consider instead of "author claims"?!
I would say the correct answer is <span>B) He feels tied to the land and to the weather in which he grew up. The speaker feels free and unrestrained when he is in the open, at night, with the moon lightening up so he can see the endless horizon clearly. When forced to go back into the house because the summer is over, he feels confined and depressed.</span>
