Read the excerpt from part 5 of Zeitoun. For many of his clients, it took time for the insurance money to come through, for the FEMA money to appear, for any number of complications to work themselves out. But now things are moving. The city is rising again. Since Hurricane Katrina, Zeitoun A. Painting Contractor LLC has restored 114 houses to their former states, or improved versions thereof. What is the meaning of the excerpt?

D) Zeitoun's business is thriving with the rebuilding of New Orleans.

Explanation:

Through the passage from Part 5 of the text "Zeitoun" by Dave Eggers, the excerpt shows how the hurricane had affected both Zeitoun and the whole city of New Orleans. But through it all, they are still working in trying to regain what they lost. Both had overcome the worst of times and had survived, now working on rebuilding their lives. The excerpt shows or rather suggests that Zeitoun's business s coming together slowly again, gaining ground and on the process of becoming what it used to be. The rebuilding process of the city of New Orleans after the hurricane had provided a platform for his business to be active, bringing it back on its feet.
