The correct answer is A) to introduce the theme of wanting more.

The other options of the question were B) to suggest an image with vivid, strong verbs. C) to make a comparison using a smile. D) to create a descriptive language using a metaphor.

The author focuses so much on Alfonso’s appearance to introduce the theme of wanting more.

Gary Soto is the author of "Broken Chain," the book of where this excerpt was taken as reference. This part says that "Alfonso sat on the ´pr+orch trying to push his crooked teeth to where he thought they belonged. He hated the way he looked. Last week he did fifty sit-ups a day, thinking that he would burn those already apparent ripples on his stomach to even deeper ripples."

Pick a Region you would like to live and why?
GaryK [48]

Answer:

Well this is basically my opinion:

I would love to live in South America, I like their culture, food, music, and their weather. In North America usually gets cold, but in some parts South America it is hot, for example Barranquilla, Colombia. I think that would be an amazing place to live, their food is amazing as well as their background history. There is many other good places to live, but in my opinion a great weather and food country will do for me!

hope it helped :D
