Answer:

It demonstrates that Enrique takes drastic measures to survive.

Explanation:

Sonia Nazario's "Enrique's Journey" follows a young boy named Enrique who's traveling to the United States in search of his mother. The story follows the difficult journey of the young boy and the obstacles that posed problems for him.

In the given excerpt from the story, the narrator reveals how Enrique ensured he stays safe during the whole trip. His behavior<em> "every time someone new jumps onto his car" </em>shows his anxious state. Moreover, when he decided to <em>"climb to the top of the tank car and take a running leap . . . jump[ing] to one swaying boxcar, then to another"</em> shows the extreme steps that he took to ensure he survives the journey.

Thus, the correct answer is the fourth option.

Answer:

would have to raise

The definition of past tense:

a tense expressing an action that has happened or a state that previously existed.

So, we eliminate the ones in past tense

<em>did have to raise its dues</em>

Definition of present tense:

The present tense is used for actions which are happening now.

So, we eliminate ones using present tense

<em>raises</em>

Final note:

If one word or phrase in a sentence/paragraph is past or present tense, the whole thing will need to be past or present tense.

Hope that helped!!

steposvetlana [31]
By being known as "a Cunningham" and easily recognized by their last name, the citizens of Maycomb know this family fairly well. They lived on farms in the northern part of the county. In the novel, the Cunninghams were known as a rough crowd to hang around with. They gambled, drank whiskey, and would often hang out in a few of the same places (and everyone tried to avoid those places).  They were part of the wrong crowd and just bad company to be associated with. 

However, the reputation of the Cunningham clan did have some positives. They weren't known to be aggressive or abusive. They were known for never taking favors that they couldn't pay back. While not used to mainstream social life and immersed in their country/farm life, Cunninghams were simple folk who were honest and understood the value of hard work. These characteristics are known to the residents of Maycomb, including Miss Caroline. When Scout introduces Walter to her, Miss Caroline can make some of these assumptions based on the history of the Cunningham family that Walter comes from.
