A. Cooperation is an important value in this culture.
Answer:
C. A journey that presents many challenges

Okay, it's an unpaved road, according to my ELA teacher, that symbolizes a long, harsh journey. You know, cause there's the saying "you got a hard road ahead of you" or something like that.

hope this helps:)
