The diction of Steinbeck here in apparently describing the dustbowl conditions of the Dirty Thirties is speaking of "tenant men" or presumably men who were tenant farmers perhaps who were allowed to live on the land in return for working it and that they "scuffed"  their way home indicates that the dust was so thick they had to scuff but also perhaps that since they could barely make a living under the poor agricultural conditions they did not walk confidently but scuffed.

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

a time relationship between the events in sentences 3 and 4

Explanation:

Kevin's paragraph is written in chronological order. He uses transition words to show the time relationship between the events throughout the paragraph. However, there is not a signal word that indicates how long after the workshop the family attended the workshop that the woman came to their house. The other options are not correct because the entire paragraph demonstrates the family's interest in helping animals. The connection between the family and woman is clear when it says that she came to their house. The last option is simply incorrect as well since a personal narrative is written in first person point of view.
