a. the author does not spend much time thinking about his future.
b. the author had a set way of living that he does not want to change.
c. the difficult conditions in malawi have a major effect on the authors day - to - day life.
d. despite challenging conditions, the people of malawi are highly optimistic.

Explanation:

The text mentions "No more skipping breakfast, no more dropping out of school" which shows that previously there were difficulties (like hunger leading to skipping breakfast and possible financial or other hardships leading to dropping out). The windmill is seen as a solution. This implies that the difficult conditions in Malawi (like lack of power which might be related to economic etc. issues causing the mentioned problems) have a major impact on daily life. Option C aligns with this as it talks about difficult conditions affecting day - to - day life. Option A is not supported as there is no indication of the author not thinking about the future. Option B is wrong as the text shows a desire for change (with the windmill). Option D is about the people's optimism which is not the main focus of this line; the line is more about the impact of conditions on daily life.

Answer:

C. The difficult conditions in Malawi have a major effect on the author's day - to - day life.
