Answer:

The answer is indeed letter A. stoic-songbird.

Explanation:

A kenning phrase consists of two words combined, usually by means of a hyphen, that function as a metaphorical description. Kennings are a tradition from Anglo-Saxon poetry. For instance, in the famous epic poem "Beowulf", the compound expression "battle-sweat" is used to refer to blood. Battle-sweat is thus a kenning, a phrase that metaphorically describes blood.

In the sentence we are studying here, we have a compound expression in "stoic-songbird." It is the combination of two words used to metaphorically describe a musical instrument. We could substitute it for the word "piano", for example. As we can see, using kennings helps embellish descriptions - stoic-songbird sounds more melodious than the word piano itself.

Read the excerpt from “First Generation” of Dreaming in Cuban, by Cristina Garcia.
lutik1710 [3]
The second choice best applies to the given excerpt. First, it can be noted from this excerpt that the writer wants to convey a pessimistic view of fate. With that, the last choice will not apply to the paragraph anymore. The second and third choices do not apply as well because all words used were neither jargon nor difficult. Rather the words and phrases used like, "interested...but changed their minds", "frustrated", and "revolution in the mountains", were easy to grasp and quickly conveys how a possibly bright future has turned into a sour one.
