The correct answer is: the author uses structure to show the sequence of events.

In the excerpt, the author enumerates several events in chronological order. First, Enrique sees that a new day has begun ("greets the dawn"), then the sky clears and becomes lighter. And, finally, men with donkeys trot by to start their morning deliveries.

The other options are not correct because the excerpt does not contain a dialogue, there is no characterization or description of Enrique or the men with the donkeys and the setting is not specified.
