Answer 1

Answer:

The story is a depiction of Oklahoma farmers and the difficulties they experienced migrating to California.

Explanation:

The Grapes of Wrath is one of the greatest American novels of all time. His author is John Steinbeck. It is a story inspired by the social suffering of the Great Depression, by the dreams of a new life in California of the people leaving the Oklahoma Dust Bowl.  It was first published in 1939.

Answer 2

Answer: A is correct.

Explanation: there is no ideological "message" in this novel. Steinbeck describes Zeitgeist of the 1930s, spirit of time immediately after the Great Depression. At the same time we can see one of the crucial  characteristic of American cultures - strong and still persistent characteristic of migration within the country (in the case of Oklahoma to California) which is something not so strong in other big countries (Russia, China, Brazil). The same feature of America is present in a beatnik writer, Jack Kerouak.
