Answer 1

A. They show that the family regrets that others will enjoy these things instead of them.

Step-by-step explanation:

These things might be theirs no longer. Those shafts and pools of light, the tree, the graceful iron, might soon be viewed possessively by different eyes.

The above statement supports the idea that the family wants to keep their home because the phrase "might soon be viewed possessively by different eyes" insinuates that they actually regret that some other person or family will get to enjoy what they have always enjoyed.

It shows that they are already thinking and having regrets about how painful it would be to have someone else enjoy want they once possessed.
