The correct answer is **B. The imagery implies that people from east Berlin did not get enough to eat.**
In the description of the elderly woman clinging to a threadbare shawl and the mention of men having a "face too thin," the author evokes a sense of deprivation and hardship. This imagery suggests that the people of East Berlin are suffering from issues related to scarcity, likely exacerbated by historical circumstances such as economic hardships under communist rule. The details enhance the understanding of the struggle for basic sustenance in that historical context.
