by Mariano Azuela
Everything was still swathed in shadows as Demetrio
Macias began his descent to the bottom of the ravine.
Between rocks striped with huge eroded cracks, and a
squarely cut wall, with the river flowing below, a narrow
ledge along the steep incline served as a mountain trail.
"They'll surely find me now," he mused. "It's a good
thing they know nothing about the trails and paths up
here But if they got someone from Moyahua to guide
them..." He left the thought unfinished. "All the men
from Limon or Santa Rosa or the other nearby ranches
are on our side: they wouldn't try to trail us. That cacique
who's chased and run me ragged over these hills, is at
Mohayua now; he'd give his eyeteeth to capture me."
At dawn, he approached the pit of the canyon. Here, he
lay on the rocks and fell asleep.

Explanation:

According to the excerpt from The Underdogs by Mariano Azuela, the author develops the character through the thoughts of the character.

From the narration, the narrator is worried he would be tracked to where he is, but reassures himself that the people are on his side and won't give him away

the correct answer would be d, i never like waking up.

explanation:

iambic tetrameter is a meter which is basically a line consisting of four feet of iambic and it is used in poetry. it consists of unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable. in this question, the only statement which is giving the feel of being stressed is option d, which says that i never like waking up. it means the person is feeling stressed whenever he wakes up. he never likes to wake up and and whenever he wakes up, he doesn't like it. so a sense or feel of being stressed is in this statement.
