The correct answer is A

Explanation:

Shared meanings is the term which is defined as it does not mean the same way in which everyone sees the things. So, in this case, the observers saw the crane operators moving the wreckage, they were not doing the work but they were rebuilding.

It is an example of shared meaning, in which they were not moving the wreckage but rebuilding America.
