\i last went to nueva suyapa in 2003, to write about another boy, luis enrique molino pineda, who had gone there and left to find his mother in the united states.\

\the united states should also increase to pre - 9/11 levels the number of refugees we accept to 90,000 from the current 70,000 per year and, unlike in recent years, actually admit that many.\

Explanation:

The first option is a metaphor, the second is a personal - anecdote, the third is a fact - based statement about interviews. The fourth option directly calls for a change in the US refugee policy by suggesting an increase in the number of refugees accepted, which aligns with the purpose of persuasion to change the policy.

Answer:

"The United States should also increase to pre - 9/11 levels the number of refugees we accept to 90,000 from the current 70,000 per year and, unlike in recent years, actually admit that many."
