Answer:

A. is familiar with the uncertainties endured by travelers

Explanation:

Answer A

Correct. In the first sentence of the fourth paragraph, the author states that “almost everyone” (including, presumably, the members of his intended audience) has fantasized about a “journey of pleasure” that will relieve their sense of “uneasiness.” He then goes on to use such a “journey of pleasure” as evidence for his argument regarding the nature of pleasure by contrasting a traveler’s idealized expectations for such a journey (“shade and sunshine at his disposal,” “tables of plenty and looks of gaiety”) with the uncertainties and inconveniences of actual travel (dusty roads, sluggish horses, and crowded inns, among others). He presents these uncertainties and inconveniences in rapid succession without describing them in detail or offering evidence to convince his audience that they are typical, thus suggesting that he assumes his audience is already familiar with such uncertainties and inconveniences.
