“tomorrow is a very important day for our family. as you know, the name bauer is the german word for peasant. my father was a peasant, his father was a peasant, and so were all the fathers before that. we have never been land owners, and i think it’s time to change that fact, but, sadly, my injury prevents me from racing well. you, johann, though still a boy, are the best man for the job.”

how does this dialogue advance the action of the story?

(a) by showing that the bauers won land in the race
(b) by revealing that johann’s father has been injured
(c) by revealing who will represent the bauers in the land race
(d) by showing that johann is too young to participate in the race
