Describe the text structure of this excerpt:

Even though the topi was a small one, there was more than enough meat for everyone in the group. But it did not take long for Salva to regret his haste in eating. After so many weeks of near starvation, his stomach rebelled mightily: He spent most of the night vomiting. Salva was not alone. Whenever his heaving stomach woke him, he would hurry to the edge of the camp to vomit and find others there doing the same. At one point, Salva found himself in a line of half a dozen people, all in an identical pose—bent over, holding their stomachs, and waiting for the next wave of nausea.

Read this excerpt: Salva's mouth closed and opened again, as if he were a fish. He tried to speak, but no sound came out of his throat. He tried to move, but his feet seemed stuck to the ground. "Salva!" the man said again, and hurried toward him. When the man was only a few steps away, Salva suddenly found his voice. "Uncle!" he cried out, and ran into the man's arms. Uncle Jewiir was the younger brother of Salva's father. Salva hadn't seen him in at least two years, because Uncle had been in the army. Uncle must know about the war and the fighting! Maybe he will know where my family is!

Why is this an "Aha Moment"?

• It is an "Aha Moment" because Salva continues to wonder what has happened to his family.

• It is an "Aha Moment" because Salva realizes that his uncle is there and may know something about his family.

• It is an "Aha Moment" because Salva remembers his family.

• It is an "Aha Moment" because Salva realizes that his family has been gone for two years.
