Answer:
"<em>I open my bag, spread out my little red kayak, and start to pump it up"</em>
The last line indicated excercebates to the underlying tension in the scene.
Salak had purposed in her mind to journey down the Timbuktu river in Africa.
Prior to this scene, she had been advised severally by her guide who even at this point (which is at the edge of the river) says he is unable to proceed any further. According to the narratives, no man had ever completed neither had any woman.
The odds were not in her favour at all.
The more the guide tries to dissuade her, the more her will crystallizes towards the decision to do so.
Finally, in the scene above, she starts to pump the Kayak (a light frame watertight canoe) in readiness to commence the journey amidst degenerating weather conditions.
Cheers!
Right off the bat you can cross out idiom off the list, which leaves us down to slang, jargon and dialect. It isn't very likely it's dialect since that refers more to regional language or a specific group of persons. Now we are down to two possible answers, slang and jargon. Slang is categorized as very informal and is not connected to a particular group or profession. I'm not sure which English you are in but jargon is one of the rhetorical devices learned in AP Language and Literature. To be more specific, jargon IS the language which is involved with a particular group or profession. For example, in terms of running some jargon could be "fartlek" and "strides".

Explanation:
An appositive is a noun or pronoun set beside another noun or pronoun to explain or identify it. When the appositive is used with words that modify it, we get an appositive phrase.
An appositive phrase usually follows the word it refers to. It's often framed by commas, except when it's considered to be an essential part of the sentence.
Here are some examples:
- <em>Niagara Falls</em><em>, </em><em><u>the natural wonder in New York</u></em><em>, is not the tallest in the country</em>. - the underlined part is an appositive, and the part written in bold letters is the part of the sentence the appositive explains. As we can see, the appositive explains what Niagara Falls are.
- <em>My </em><em>brother </em><em><u>Jim </u></em><em>lives in Kansas.</em> - names preceded by words that describe their <em>status/title</em> are usually appositions. In cases such as this one, they are considered essential, which is why they are not framed by commas.
