Read the excerpt from “Land for Free.”“Tomorrow is a very important day for our family. As you know, the name Bauer is the German word for peasant. My father was a peasant, his father was a peasant, and so were all the fathers before that. We have never been land owners, and I think it’s time to change that fact, but, sadly, my injury prevents me from racing well. You, Johann, though still a boy, are the best man for the job.”
Answer
A
by showing that the Bauers won land in the race
B
by revealing that Johann’s father has been injured
C
by revealing who will represent the Bauers in the land race
D
by showing that Johann is too young to participate in the race
Explanation
Johann’s father explains that his injury will keep him from racing well, then tells Johann, “You… are the best man for the job.” This reveals that Johann will represent the Bauer family in the land race. The excerpt does not say that the family has won land or that Johann is too young to participate.
