This question is missing the excerpt. I was able to find it online. It is as follows:

Read the excerpt from "Enrique's Journey":

Enrique greets the dawn without incident. The sky lightens behind the mountains to the east, and mist rises off the fields on both sides of the tracks. Men trot by on burros with tin milk containers strapped to their saddles, starting their morning deliveries.

Answer:

The narrative technique which the author includes in the excerpt is:

D. The author uses setting to show a sense of accomplishment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sonia Nazario is an American journalist born in 1960. She won the Pulitzer for her book "Enrique's Journey," which tells the story of 17-year-old Enrique, from Honduras, who crosses countries in order to be reunited with his mother.

In the excerpt we are analyzing here, Nazario focuses on setting. Setting refers to the time and place where the story happens. From the passage, we know that it is dawn, that Enrique is most likely on a train, and that he sees fields and men along his path. However, that is not all that the setting reveals in the passage. There is a sense of accomplishment when Nazario says, "without incident". This is a sign that Enrique's journey is, until now, successful. A new day has begun, a new scenario unfolds, and Enrique is still moving closer to his destination.
