Read this excerpt from The Grapes of Wrath:

[The tractors] ignored hills and gulches, water courses, fences, houses.

Which sentence best describes Steinbeck's diction here?

- A) He uses the words "hills and gulches" to describe the highs and lows of the tenant experience.

- B) He uses the word "ignored" to show that the tractors had no connection with the land.

- C) He uses words about farming to show his reader that he knows what he's talking about.

- D) He omits "and" at the end of the sentence to show how many things were ignored.
