Answer 2

The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: B. Pahom wanted more land for himself so he could feel secure.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pahom is a man who is never more filled, a characteristic suggested in the title. He also is grasping, and he later becomes fallacious.

Pahom feels uncomfortable again, and he wants more land. So, he rents more and more land. But, difficulties occur again, and he "grew bored of having to rent other people's land every year." Pahom finds himself arguing with others over the land, so much that he fancies again to really purchase land, not understanding that he has other difficulties within him.
