Read the excerpt from Enrique’s Journey.Before the train leaves, the gangsters roam the Tapachula depot, eyeing which migrants are buying food and where they stash their cash afterward. They try to get friendly with the migrants, telling them they have already done the train ride. Maybe they can offer tips? Many of the gangsters wear white plastic rosaries around their necks so the migrants will be less suspicious. They ask, "Where are you from? Where are you going? Do you have any money?"
Answer
A
It helps create uneasiness.
B
It helps create trust.
C
It helps create hope.
D
It helps create calmness.
Explanation
The gangsters pretend to be friendly and wear rosaries to seem trustworthy, but they are actually watching migrants and asking about their money. This contrast makes the reader uneasy because the migrants may be in danger. The excerpt therefore helps create uneasiness, not genuine trust or calmness.
