Read the following passage from an intercalary chapter of The Grapes of
Wrath:
If you who own the things people must have could
understand this, you might preserve yourself. If you could
separate causes from results, if you could know that Paine,
Marx, Jefferson, Lenin, were results, not causes, you might
survive. But that you cannot know. For the quality of
owning freezes you forever into "1" and cuts you off forever
from the "we."
What is most likely to parallel this passage in a coming plot chapter?
A. An event in which migrant workers band together against a
singular oppressor
O B. An event in which an owner dies because he didn't read Paine and
Jefferson
O C. An event in which an owner shows generosity to migrant workers
O D. An event in which a farmer hires extra farmworkers
