How is the prospect of steady work depicted toward the end of the journey?

• A. It improves quickly
• B. It remains uncertain
• C. It becomes abundant soon
• D. It is guaranteed after a few months

Answer: (B)

The situation for migrant workers is portrayed as precarious and unstable. Even toward the journey’s end, the prospect of steady work remains uncertain because jobs are seasonal, scarce, and subject to changing conditions—crop cycles, competition from other workers, and the economic pressures of the era. The family and other laborers sense that opportunities may appear briefly, but there’s no lasting guarantee of reliable employment or income. That persistent unpredictability is why the correct choice describes the outlook as remaining uncertain. The other options push a sense of rapid improvement, plentiful opportunities, or a guaranteed path, which the text does not support.
