Answer 2

The metaphor used in these lines is comparing life to climbing up a set of steps. By saying "So, boy, don't you turn back, don't you set down on the steps 'Cause you finds it kinder hard," the mother is advising her son to not give up or rest when faced with difficulties or challenges. So, the correct answer is A. Son, don't give up on following your dreams when things get difficult.
