which excerpt from the passage includes an example of metonymy?
From campagna he had walked and rode on public carts to Naples, where he joined a group of twelve children escorted by benedictine nuns destined for New York.
the twelve children streamed away from the port of Naples on a freighter overloaded with barrels of wine, olive oil and tons of pasta.
in Cadiz, half of the children stayed. Simon and five companions with two nuns sailed on a Portuguese freighter to the Canary Islands and then to New York.
the work was hard, but worse was the constant cough he developed from the fine coal dust, the cold and dampness from the pits and mines.
