Read the excerpt from “new land, new life.”

her hand was rough and worn from the years of hard work and harsh weather, but her heart was light and airy. the land inspector would be arriving soon, and this land and the home built from its very earth would be hers. she would be a landowner, the head of her household, as successful as any homesteader could hope to be.

based on this excerpt, which statement best describes ruth?

she is disappointed that she is not yet a landowner.
she is proud of the home she has built for her family.
she is excited to show off all of her land to her neighbors.
she is nervous, especially about facing the inspector.

B. She is proud of the home she has built for her family.
