Answer:

Judging from the diction in the excerpt, the implicit meaning Kingsolver is conveying is that:

a) Living on a farm is a hard way of life.

Explanation:

There are a few things to make clear here, first of all, even though we don't really get a confirmation that Kingsolver's lived on a farm, the text never says she felt like a circus freak, or that her clothing made her look poor, or that she was embarrassed from her parents. However, her emphasis does show up that it was hard to wear these clothes. Relating to A) stronger than any other option.

Answer:  

She is a housewife and she played an important role.   My mother is the most patient and diligent person I know. She always takes care of her family and never compares her child with others. Another quality that really stands out is her honesty .She taught us to be honest and I never heard my mother tell a lie. As for myself, my mother has been a huge influence on me. She has shown me how important it is to study hard.  I believe she is the reason why I have decided to study hard to change our life. I hope I can be patient and diligent as my mother does.

It was a Monday morning. Susan woke up with the aid of an alarm clock that has a vibrating pad under her pillow. As everyday, she went to brush her teeth, did a little exercise and went to have her breakfast. While having her breakfast, she thought "What if Mondays would not have been there...."  Susan never liked Mondays because it was the first working day after the previous weekend. She unwillingly went to her room to get ready for  school.

Suddenly she saw, the weather was raining heavily. She thought to go to school to enjoy the weather. One of her friend said that the road will be slippery when it rained heavily and it was very dangerous. Susan was speechless.

The bus driver picked up the phone and his phone accidentally fell off. Then the driver looked for his phone that fell under his feet. Susan was surprised and she again woke up and found herself in her bed. She hit her left toe to be sure, if that was not a dream again. But, it was reality. She looked outside her window. She was surprised to see a dream in her dream.​
