Read this excerpt from "look homeward, angel." like all the older children of major pentland she had, since her twentieth year, begun the slow accretion of land: from the savings of her small wage as teacher and book-agent, she had already purchased one or two pieces of earth. from this excerpt, eliza can best be described as a dutiful daughter. humble teacher. shrewd investor. rich heiress.

The correct answer would be option c: "A Shrewd Investor"

Explanation:

In the excerpt, it is described that she and her siblings slowly start buying land, but it does not mention that their father is the cause, the reason they buy land, therefore, option a is incorrect.

It does say that she is a teacher and also a book agent, but that is not the sole focus of the excerpt, it is mainly a small detail that allows the reader to know that she has a job that earns her money, so option b is also incorrect.

The word Shrewd can be defined as someone that shows or has a very good judgment, in other words they can be defined as astute, so, for Eliza to already have 2 pieces of land from her small wage and starting at a relatively young age, one can infer that she has  very good judgment, so option c is the correct answer.

Option d is incorrect because it never says that Eliza is rich or an heiress, quite the contrary, she has to work to earn a small wage.
