Which other sentence from “Black Sunday: The Storm That Gave Us the Dust Bowl” best supports the answer to Part A? A. The “black blizzard” that swept across the plains states left a trail of devastation in its wake—leveled fields, crashed cars, reports of people who had been blinded or given pneumonia by the storm.

B.“Black Sunday,” as the storm became known, was the death knell for the poor farmers of Oklahoma and Texas.

C.“Three little words achingly familiar on a Western farmer’s tongue,” he wrote after the storm, “rule life in the dust bowl of the continent—if it rains.”

D. But though Black Sunday and the Dust Bowl it helped name drew attention to the plight of the plains and turned soil conservation into a national priority, its effects were best summed up by a folk singer, not a reporter or politician.
