Below is the excerpt from Enrique's Journey:

Enrique puts Chiapas behind him. He still has far to go, but he has faced the beast eight times now, and he has lived through it. It is an achievement, and he is proud of it.

The options given are:

A. to show how threatening travel through Chiapas is

B. to show that few people are able to live in Chiapas

C. to show how many dishonest people live in Chiapas

D. to show that Chiapas has the most immigration checkpoints

Answer:

A. to show how threatening travel through Chiapas is

Explanation:

The metaphor used in the excerpt shows how threatening travel through Chiapas is. Referring to Chiapas as "the beast" shows that Chiapas is somewhat a dangerous and unsafe place.

Enrique's Journey, Enrique learnt a lot about Chiapas. He learnt that bandits rob, police try to shake him down, and there are street gangs might even kill.

These shows how threatening Chiapas is.

"Enrique's Journey: The Story of a Boy's Dangerous Odyssey to Reunite with his Mother" is a story by Sonia Nazario. It tells the story of a 17-year-old boy who hails from Honduras and takes his journey to the United States to find his mother.
