Answer:
B. All South Africans share a connection to a beautiful land and have the opportunity for new beginnings.
Explanation:
Here's the excerpt you provided. I highlighted some key words that helped me arrive at B.
“Each time <u>one of us</u> touches the <u>soil of this land</u>, we feel a sense of <u>personal</u> <u>renewal.</u> The national mood changes as the seasons change.”
The author says that "All South Africans share a connection" by using the word "<em>us</em> " rather than "<em>I</em>." He talks about a sense of "<em>renewal</em>." Renewal is another word for rebirth or "new beginnings." Thus, choice B makes the most sense.
