A. The Author of Text 1

Reason: Text 1 specifically describes creative measures (vending machines dispensing free books) to increase book ownership and states that owning books boosts students’ performance more than just reading, so its author advocates solutions to help families own books. Text 2 discusses library access and late‑fee barriers but does not propose ownership-focused, creative interventions.
