The answer is to communicate his point about how growers' practices are outdated in terms the audience can understand.

This option is incorrect because comparing someone to a "punch-drunk boxer" is not a flattering comparison. It suggests that the growers are out of touch and ineffective, which would not gain sympathy.

This option is incorrect because the comparison is not meant to draw a direct parallel between the professions of growers and boxers. Instead, it is used metaphorically to illustrate a specific point about the growers' state of being.

This option is correct because Chavez uses the metaphor of a "punch-drunk boxer" to effectively communicate that the growers are continuing to use outdated practices and are not aware of their obsolescence. This metaphor helps the audience understand the growers' situation in a relatable way.

This option is incorrect because the comparison does not specifically address generational differences among growers. It focuses more on the current state of the growers' practices rather than comparing different generations.
