Hi. This question is about "Barrio Boy "

The choice of words in this paragraph helps us to understand that Ernesto is nervous and felt intimidated.

Explanation:

In this paragraph the author used a play on words that makes us understand that Ernesto was in a totally new environment for him, a classroom. He felt intimidated and nervous, as he knew his limitations and had never been there before. It was necessary for the teacher to take him to the classroom and to speak with him very patiently, which did not diminish his nervousness, but made the situation less unpleasant and frightening.
