Answer:
i want to say the 2nd one and the 5th one hope this help
Explanation:
It's C, independent clause because those words can be turned into a sentence on it's own.
I’d say the first one because in the text it said they worked hard to build a life and in the answer in said worked hard. In the text it says soon gained status and in the answer it says quickly. It seems to be the best one in my opinion because it talks about them gaining status unlike the other ones who just talk about the impact on other farmers.
