The Grapes of Wrath

When the narrator of the selection from The Grapes of Wrath says, "You're not buying only junk, you're buying junked lives," what does he mean?

1. Only people with bad taste would accumulate and sell such rubbish.

2. The value of junk is only clear to those who learn to appreciate it.

3. The people who owned the junk have lives that now seem worthless.

4. Those who but others' junk have little meaning in their lives.
