A. To show how farmers and migrants suffered during the Dust Bowl

Explanation:

The Grapes of Wrath (1939) is a realist novel, written by John Steinbeck. It describes a poor family's struggle during agricultural changes and financial hardships caused by drought.

The Joads family is forced to abandon their Oklahoma home and land. They head towards California to seek jobs, hoping for better future. Through this example, Steinbeck demonstrates the suffering farmers and migrants went through during the Dust Bowl, a period of severe dust storms during the 1930s.

the difference between an explicit and implicit meaning is that the explicit meaning of a poem is that the detail is exactly defined. nothing is left to interpretation. an implicit meaning is an implied meaning. kabir's poetry is both explicit and implicit in that it can be interpreted on different levels. the explicit meaning leaves nothing to interpretation while the implicit meaning leaves lots open to interpretation. an example of this is found in the poem "rumi and the spiritual lover".
