Answer:

a

Explanation:

Based on details in the passage,Steinbeck  is showing  how the Joads are just one family among many suffering from corporate greed.

Greed is an uncontrolled longing for increase in the acquisition or use of material gain  or social value, such as status, or power. Greed has been identified as undesirable throughout known human history because it creates behavior-conflict between personal and social goals.

The initial motivation for (or purpose of) greed and actions associated with it may be the promotion of personal or family survival. It may at the same time be an intent to deny or obstruct competitors from potential means or future opportunities; therefore being insidious or tyrannical and having a negative connotation. Alternately, the purpose could be defense or counteractive response to such obstructions being threatened by others. But regardless of purpose, greed intends to create an inequity of access or distribution to community wealth.

History in the Making

The December morning was cold and crisp as John Lee and his retriever Sampson turned toward the beach. Inhaling, John Lee let the smells and sounds wash over him. As he and Sampson crisscrossed the fields of sea oats and beach grasses, a cold, bitter wind gusted across the dunes. Pulling his jacket more tightly to him, John Lee clucked at Sampson, urging the lumbering black dog onward. Despite the cold, John Lee was determined not to miss a single, solitary moment of this day—history was in the making!

As he and Sampson walked along the dunes, John Lee recalled that first meeting with the two brothers from Ohio—the Wright Brothers. John Lee had literally collided with Wilbur one day while chasing after Sampson. Then, his brother Orville wandered over to see what the commotion was about. John Lee was afraid that both he and Sampson were in for a scolding. Happily, Orville and Wilbur simply initiated a conversation, patiently answering the curious John Lee’s questions.

John Lee had already heard some rumblings about the two; they were inventors, tinkering with some unique contraption—a flying machine. They had run a bicycle shop back in Ohio until they had become increasingly intrigued by anything and everything having to do with flight. They researched and studied and toyed with various experiments, and eventually had made their way to North Carolina to conduct “trials” with their flying machine. Everything about the brothers fascinated John Lee—from their flat Ohio accents to their conversations peppered with scientific jargon—words like velocity, atmospheric, and physics. For the first time, he could envision the existence of a world beyond Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.

Jogging over a large dune, John Lee spotted the familiar outlines of the Wrights’ work shed and living quarters. Coming around the corner of the shed was Orville Wright; trailing behind him was his brother Wilbur, deep in conversation with one of the men who worked at the Kill Devil Hills Life-Saving Station, one of the many stations constructed along the coastline to assist sailors in need of help. The Wright brothers had chosen this area of the outer banks because of the constant wind needed provide a lift to their flying machine.

John Lee’s gaze strayed toward a group of men placing a series of tracks down on the ground, watching as one man guided the others in the placement of the tracks. Today, the Wrights were conducting another trial with their flying machine. Three days earlier, Wilbur had successfully steered the machine, soaring above the ground for a total of three seconds. John Lee treasured that sight—it was one of the most thrilling things he had ever witnessed. Now, he and Sampson watched as several men from the Life-Saving Service guided the flying machine out of its shed. John Lee could feel the excitement in the air, as if it were he that would be aboard that flying machine! The men guided the contraption to the edge of the tracks. John Lee had to remind himself not to hold his breath.

Then, much to his surprise and delight, Wilbur came over and handed John Lee a watch, telling him he would be one of the timekeepers for the trials today.

Orville strode over to the machine and then climbed aboard, positioning himself between the wings; the engine throbbed to life. To John Lee, it seemed as if everything was in slow motion as the flying machine glided across the tracks and then began to slowly ascend. For twelve glorious seconds, Orville was airborne. Dixon heard the other men whooping; applause filled the air.

Then, all too soon, it was over. The flying machine skimmed back into the soft dune sands; the men cheered and clapped Orville on the back, while another man pumped Wilbur's arm so hard that it looked like he was trying to pump water. Sampson barked as if he understood that something very exciting had happened. John Lee was in a daze; it was turning out to be a most unexpected day—a day he would never, ever forget.

How does the second half of "History in the Making" contribute to the development of the theme that teamwork can make the impossible happen?

by including information about the problems the Wrights overcame to make the first flight

by describing how the weather conditions of the Outer Banks made it the ideal place to fly

by mentioning the Wrights's kindness to John Lee and his dog Sampson

by explaining how it took many people to coordinate the first successful flight

from Sense and Sensibility – CHAPTER IV
by Jane Austen

"What a pity it is, Elinor," said Marianne, "that Edward should have no taste for drawing."
"No taste for drawing!" replied Elinor, "why should you think so? He does not draw himself, indeed, but he has great pleasure in seeing the performances of other people, and I assure you he is by no means deficient in natural taste, though he has not had opportunities of improving it. Had he ever been in the way of learning, I think he would have drawn very well. He distrusts his own judgment in such matters so much, that he is always unwilling to give his opinion on any picture; but he has an innate propriety and simplicity of taste, which in general direct him perfectly right."
Marianne was afraid of offending, and said no more on the subject; but the kind of approbation which Elinor described as excited in him by the drawings of other people, was very far from that rapturous delight, which, in her opinion, could alone be called taste. Yet, though smiling within herself at the mistake, she honoured her sister for that blind partiality to Edward which produced it.
"I hope, Marianne," continued Elinor, "you do not consider him as deficient in general taste. Indeed, I think I may say that you cannot, for your behaviour to him is perfectly cordial, and if that were your opinion, I am sure you could never be civil to him."
Marianne hardly knew what to say. She would not wound the feelings of her sister on any account, and yet to say what she did not believe was impossible. At length she replied:
"Do not be offended, Elinor, if my praise of him is not in every thing equal to your sense of his merits. I have not had so many opportunities of estimating the minuter propensities of his mind, his inclinations and tastes, as you have; but I have the highest opinion in the world of his goodness and sense. I think him every thing that is worthy and amiable."
"I am sure," replied Elinor, with a smile, "that his dearest friends could not be dissatisfied with such commendation as that and I do not perceive how you could express yourself more warmly." Marianne was rejoiced to find her sister so easily pleased.
"Of his sense and his goodness," continued Elinor, "no one can, I think, be in doubt, who has seen him often enough to engage him in unreserved conversation. The excellence of his understanding and his principles can be concealed only by that shyness which too often keeps him silent and you know enough of him to do justice to his solid worth. But of his minuter propensities, as you call them you have from peculiar circumstances been kept more ignorant than myself. He and I have been at times thrown a good deal together, while you have been wholly engrossed on the most affectionate principle by my mother and I have seen a great deal of him, have studied his sentiments and heard his opinion on subjects of literature and taste; and, upon the whole, I venture to pronounce that his mind is well–informed, enjoyment of books exceedingly great, his imagination lively, his observation just and correct, and his taste delicate and pure. His abilities in every respect improve as much upon acquaintance as his manners and person. At first sight, his address is certainly not striking; and his person can hardly be called handsome, till the expression of his eyes, which are uncommonly good, and the general sweetness of his countenance, is perceived. At present, I know him so well, that I think him really handsome; or at least, almost so. What say you, Marianne?"
"I shall very soon think him handsome, Elinor, if I do not now. When you tell me to love him as a brother, I shall no more see imperfection in his face, than I now do in his heart."

Which two sentences show how the author develops the theme of love through Elinor's characterization?

A. Elinor is blind to Marianne's criticism of Edward.
B. Elinor decides to change Marianne's mind by being rude and stubborn.
C. Elinor rejects Marianne's opinion of Edward.
D. Elinor defends Edward by listing the traits that she has observed in him.
E. Elinor states that Edward is the most handsome man in England.
