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.
