The detail from the passage that reflects the idea of promise and possibility is: 2. "The world was changing, growing, unfolding, like an infant who learns several new things every day." (Paragraph 3)

What is the detail in the passage

This particular detail uses a metaphor comparing the world's changes to that of an infant constantly learning, indicating a sense of growth, development, and potential for the future, aligning with the notions of promise and possibility.

Just as an infant learns new things daily, the world is depicted as changing, growing, and unfolding, suggesting a continuous process of discovery, development, and evolution. This comparison implies a sense of ongoing progress, potential, and a future filled with promise
