How does the imagery in the following excerpt from the passage contribute to the author's discussion of different types of roads? “Cars strung bumper to bumper to the horizon. Scowling faces inside. Kids crying in the back seat. I keep wishing there were some way to tell them something but they scowl and appear to be in a hurry”

The imagery is an example of the effects of long-distance travel.

The imagery is symbolic of his desire to escape from his own family.

The imagery provides contrast to the peaceful images of nature and the local people.

The imagery provides an example of the sorts of people you can find on a drip down country roads.

It's A.

Explanation:

It's anything but B. The author has a desire to change what he sees in others. He has no desire to change himself so he looked like those he saw.

There's no mention of nature at all. None. There might be in surrounded sentences and paragraphs, but none in this passage. Not C.

Whoever wrote the question had no idea what country roads are like. I lived in a place where the population was 75. A big collection of cars was the 3 that sat in front of the post office waiting for their mail. Not D.

I don't like A much, but that is the answer. Cars that were lined up bumper to bumper is not so much of long distance travel as it is the frustration of not being able to move.
