Question

“I’d plant the seed. You’d plant it down in the furrow where it’d be leveled over like you’d taken a bulldozer and bulldozed it... You’re fighting a losing battle.”

This analogy contributes to the meaning of the account by..
A) describing the difficulty of leveling a field
B) suggesting the great force of the dust storms
C) describing the problems of inexperienced farmers
D) explaining the careful preparation of the prairie soil

Answer 1

We can see here that this analogy contributes to the meaning of the account by comparing the planting of a seed to the effort of trying to overcome a difficult or impossible task. The comparison of planting the seed with leveling it over with a bulldozer suggests that the effort is futile and will not lead to a successful outcome.
