The only one that seems logical would be: B; The other gods remain cautious as they watch.
It creates suspense as to what event they are watching over.
When looking for comparisons, you are looking for metaphors or similes. For example, “The sun is a hot bowl of lava.” That is a metaphor. The sun is being compared to lava. OR The sun is as hot as a bowl of lava. That is a simile.
There can also be direct comparisons such as: Susan’s work of Art mirrors that of da Vinci. So as you read, look
for examples such as these. Then you need to ask how this shows us a specific point of view. Are the comparisons done in a positive light or no?

5) She feels ashamed that she and Nenny have no money to buy anything.
- Nenny asks how much the music box is, but Gil doesn't even offer it because he knows they don't have any money. Esperanza knows, though.
6) She wishes she had a different name than Esperanza.
- The author is contrasting the two worlds, the hispanic and american, that they live between. Her name is hard to pronounce, and she connects it with sadness and longing.
