Answer:
The correct answer is a. Like Harburg, many expected that they could maintain their possessions through the Depression.
Explanation:
E. Y. -Yip- Harburg was an American songwriter, known by working with many popular artists as well as movies; he is the author of <em>Over the Rainbow</em>, from <em>The Wizard of Oz</em>.
The correct answer is letter A since the excerpt could be divided in two different ideas: the first one describes the American dream, compared with the Rock of Gibraltar due to the idea of its strength; there are some other elements that reinforce this idea, such as the marble outside of houses and the though of permanence. The second idea is the last sentence, where everything vanishes into nothing by exploding. This way, it is understood that many people expected to keep their possessions, but it did not happen.

*The things that are considered no death, are the ones are not breathing or living.
*Even a pebble lies in a roadway, still it never experiences death. *No matter how grasses are cut, they still grow in the same place.
*Brooks, even though its flow is not that much, still you can see it come and go.
*Despite all these things that are not living, they do not fade nor die. But since a human is strong and wise, makes it the reason why it dies.

Answer:
McCandless had driven his car to the Lake Mead National Recreation Area in July, and against posted regulations, had driven it off road in the park and had pitched a campsite. A few days later, flash flooding almost washed away his campsite, and his car’s engine got so wet he couldn’t get it to start. Because he wasn’t supposed to have driven off-road, he couldn’t get help from the rangers, and so he left the car with a note saying whoever can get the car to work can keep it.
