Read the excerpts from The Land.

When I asked my mama why Cassie and I couldn't call our daddy the same as Robert and George and Hammond, she said simply, "They're white and you're not, and their mama was his legal wife."

. . .

His name was Kanati; means the lucky hunter. My daddy said he left with some of his people headed west into Alabama or Mississippi before the soldiers made them go. From what my daddy told me, Kanati knew they'd be made to go because folks like my daddy and others wanted the Nation's land, and there was nothing to be done about that.

The theme for the excerpts

The first excerpt is taken from the conversation between Paul and his mother. Paul belonged to a mixed-race, his father was a white man whereas his mother was black.

When Paul asked his mother why can't he and his sister call their daddy the same as his white brothers do, his mother replied that his brothers are white and they are not.

Also, the mother of Robert, George, and Hammond was the legal wife of their father. This reflects the inequality faced by Paul, Cassie, and their mother because of being black and illegal.

The second excerpt reflects the situation of a person named Kanati, who left the land with his people due to the fear of the soldiers who would drag them out.

The folks like Paul's father and others wanted the land to be their own and hence dragged the persons from other races out. This too reflects the inequality faced by people like Kanati.

Hence the correct option is A.
