Answer:
C) he believes that personal gain is more important than family
Explanation:
The narrator is deceptive from the start as he hides key information and facts from the readers.
The book talks about a group of Americans who want to buy a piece of land in Mexico from an old man, after they agree on a price about the land, they find out the land is much larger and offer more money to the old man who refuses.
They eventually buy the land from the man but are disturbed by children playing in the trees near to the house. It appears that the old man tricked them because they eventually buy off the trees from the community.
The narrator hides the fact that he is in fact one of the buyers. He believes that personal gain is more important than family as he tried to convince the old man to take more money for the land that does not belong to him, but to the community.
