In chapter 25, why cant the farmers pay workers to pick the fruit?

a. because workers are hard to come by

b. because the banks own the farms

c. because there is so little fruit

d. because wages are too high

D.

Explanation:

In the novel "Grapes of Wrath" authored by John Steinbeck, the small farmers were unable to afford workers to pick the fruit because the wages of the workers were too high.

Chapter 25 of the novel opens with a beautiful scenery of spring and harvest ripening. But this chapter also reveals the ugly side of harvesting during the depression period. At this time, big landowners corrupted the farming system also.

The small landowners or farmers were unable to compete with the big landowners/farmers as they were able to use machinery to harvest their crops but small landowners could not harvest their crops as wages of workers were too high. So, in dismay they watched their crops being destroyed.

So, the correct answer is option D.
