Question

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: There is no evidence that Steinbeck lived on a winery with the same name. This is incorrect.
• Option B: In "The Grapes of Wrath," Steinbeck uses the metaphor of grapes (representing the migrants' anger) that grow and accumulate, similar to how the migrants' wrath builds. This aligns with the thematic significance of the title.
• Option C: The novel's last chapter does not feature personified grapes showing fury for not being picked. This is a misinterpretation.
• Option D: The farmers' anger is not related to drinking wine from sour grapes. This is incorrect.

Answer:

B. Steinbeck compares the migrants' anger to growing fruit.
