2. Read these lines from paragraph 4. And Davy looking down into those upraised beseeching eyes, and at that heavy block of wood, and at the raw place the collar had wom on the neck, then at Old Man Thorycroft's bleak, unpainted house on the hill, with the unhomelike yard and the tumbledown fences, felt a great pity, the pity of the free for the imprisoned, and a great longing to own, not a dog, but THIS dog.
Based on paragraph 4, the reader can predict that the story's main conflict will focus on Davy's struggle with-
A) feeling of inadequacy
B) moral dilemma
C) having no friends
D) having no family

the illustration   that would give a reader a clear understanding of the text is a picture of men constructing the frame of a building.the frame is made of iron bars. the text describes the job of blacksmiths'. these were very organised and they had different names: "the driver" and "the heater". the text describes the way in which these men worked ; they worked iron pieces as if they were playing a sport. in fact, the text wants to show the men's skills. the text also puts some emphasis on the use of '' rivets'' in construction. this kind of nails were not always used in the construction of manhattan.

some examples:

"and with an underhand toss he hurled the smoking rivet straight at the catcher, who caught it in mid-air in his catching can." men's skills

"when the driver was ready for a new " the emphasis on the rivet ( special nail used in construction).

" it against a beam to remove any cinders, and jammed it into the waiting hole. " the emphasis on the rivet.

i think it may be b, i'm not exactly too sure on this. but b seems to make more sense.
