A literary critic writes: 'The protagonist's journey through the forest is less a physical trek than a psychological descent into his own repressed memories.'
If the writer wants to emphasize that the forest acts as a symbolic mirror for the character's mind, which choice best achieves this 'Writer's Goal'?
- The journey, which lasted for several grueling and exhausting days
- His repressed memories, which he had successfully ignored for decades
- The forest, a dense thicket of ancient oaks and tangled vines
- The winding, shadowy paths reflecting his own internal confusion
