C. The author likens joy to sunshine to show how positive feelings can overcome dreariness.
Explanation:
This is a very common metaphor in literature: Sunshine is like an almighty force that can overcome pretty much anything.
In this case, Hector's joy is compared to sunshine, and there's no literal sunshine actually involved. Regardless, the figurative brightness and warmth of Hector's positive attitude is told to be powerful enough to overcome the dreariness (likened to gray skies and rain) that those around him may be going through.
The answer is D because it is the only answer choice that actually points out Hector's attitude as being a sunshine that overcomes the dreariness in others' moods.

One foreshadowing act is when he reported the fellow worker who tried to organize a strike, leading to Juan's promotion. Again, he also states that <em>"You don't form a habit by doing something once"</em>, which he proved wrong. These two examples are part of the factors that lead up to his 'power greed' and eventually led to his execution from his self-censored letter.
Explanation:
Foreshadowing is a literary technique that writers employ to provide hints about what will happen in future scenes. This allows the readers to have a sense of suspense, foreboding, and expectant about what is to happen to the character(s).
In the short story "The Censors" by Luisa Valenzuela, the authoritative regime of the government in censoring the letters of the people through a <em>"Censor's Secret Command"</em> shows the level of freedom the people are subjected to. And Juan, the protagonist of the story, also gets involved in the 'power play' where he, at first wants to join the Command only to ensure the safety of his letter to Mariana who has escaped to Paris. But once affiliated with the job, he gets dragged into the world of the 'power' the post/ job provides. And eventually, he brought his own death when he censors his letter so much that it was seized by the government and the writer/sender executed.
Some examples of foreshadowing are when he states <em>"You don't form a habit by doing something once" </em>which he proved wrong. Moreover, his act of turning in his colleague, who <em>"tried to organize a strike to demand higher wages for unhealthy work"</em> is another foreshadowing. This is because by turning in the guy, he got promoted which led him to get into higher posts where he eventually brought about his own downfall and is executed.
