What is it?

To determine the correct answer, we need to analyze the given information and context. In this case, the question is asking about the reason why the author has the mother and son in "Borders" sleep in the car for two days.

To find the answer, we should carefully read the text or story in which the characters are mentioned. Paying attention to the details and the author's intentions is crucial. The answer may be explicitly stated in the text or inferred through the actions and dialogue of the characters.

In the given options, option "d" suggests that the author wants to highlight the depth of the mother's willingness to stand up for her heritage. To determine if this is the correct answer, we need to consider clues in the story that support this interpretation.

One way to find these clues is to carefully analyze the interactions and decisions made by the characters during the time they spend in the car. Are there any instances where the mother explicitly demonstrates her commitment to her heritage? Are there any dialogues or descriptions that hint at her motives?

By examining the text, we might also find other relevant information that contradicts or supports other options. For example, option "a" suggests that the author wants to highlight the poverty of the characters. Option "b" suggests that the author wants to depict the bureaucracy of the border control. Option "c" suggests that the author wants to portray tension among the characters during the rising action of the story.

To get the answer, carefully read the story "Borders" and look for direct or indirect evidence that supports a particular option. Remember that the answer could be a combination of factors, or it could be a different option altogether.

Note: As an AI assistant, I do not have access to specific texts or stories, so I cannot provide the actual answer. However, by following the steps outlined above, you can find the correct answer by analyzing the story and the actions and motivations of the characters.
