The imagery used in the first paragraph of Chapter XII constantly reiterates the order and cleanliness of France.

He says the entire thing is a garden that must be brushed, watered and trimmed daily, indicating it is very neat and clean. The hedges are "shaped" and symmetrical. The trees are in long, straight rows. The landscape is so orderly Twain compares it to a checkerboard. 

The effect of this imagery is to show the reader the beauty and cleanliness of France, which is astounding to Twain.

The correct answer is A) Great great-grandchildren retell the story of the early days.

The detail from "Home Place Retold" that supports the central idea that despite physical changes, Watonwan is a special place for generations of people is "Great great-grandchildren retell the story of the early days."

This story talks about an immigrant group from Europe called the Mennonites, that is somehow related to other similar immigration group called the Amish. Mennonites have different cultures and customs that could seem contradictory to common American customs. For instance, in Mennonites communities, siblings are allowed to marry each other. On the other hand, Mennonites are known to be dedicated and committed workers who know how to farm the land and produce quality food.
