In season, we'd buy and sell blackberries and walnuts and chestnuts, before the blight got them. And outside, Thurmond milled corn and sharpened plows. Even shoed a horse sometimes."

Question 7 options:
The list of items reveals the history of the store. The store’s role and history help to contribute to the meaningfulness of the nameless town.
It shows how poor the town is. It shows that they had to be self sufficient because they live in a secluded area of the mountains.
It shows that Miss Ginny is the only resident that cares about the town anymore. Nameless should be annexed by another, larger town.
None of these.
