Answer:

b convince someone to fall in love with him.

Step-by-step explanation:

Magical realism is most clearly seen in the narrative of Colombian writer, García Márquez. In his stories there is a great deal of absurdity treated as just mere facts of living in strange and fantastical, though realistic, settings, that often simulate living conditions, through metaphoric devices, in Latin America. In the passage above, the most constructive and narratively most interesting scenario for a magical realist would be to have the invisible character make someone fall in love with him or her, adding to the absurdity of the premise but maintaining the metaphorical relevance of the story line.
