Answer:

Reveal Jimmy’s strong emotional attachment to the cabin

Step-by-step explanation:

The given question refers to an excerpt from the story A Train Trip written by Ernest Hemingway. The options you were given are the following:

  • emphasize the unpleasantness of Jimmy’s living conditions
  • reveal Jimmy’s strong emotional attachment to the cabin
  • show that Jimmy feels lonely in this remote setting
  • imply that Jimmy hopes his circumstances are improving

The story tells about a boy named Jimmy and his father leaving their cabin and taking a long train trip. In the ninth paragraph of the excerpt you were given, Jimmy describes the kitchen. This description is preceded by Jimmy's thoughts: If I was going away I wanted to remember it and say good-bye. It's obvious that he is attached to the cabin where he and his father live. After all, all of us are emotionally attached to our homes.
