not let our eyes be stolen by the altiplano that emerges and submerges in every direction.
what does the phrase \let our eyes be stolen\ mean?
○ be distracted
○ be lowered
○ be raised
○ be robbed

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "let our eyes be stolen", we analyze the context. The altiplano (a high plateau) is described as emerging and submerging in every direction, which could draw one's attention away. "Be distracted" fits as the phrase implies the eyes' focus is taken (stolen) by the altiplano, meaning attention is diverted. "Be lowered", "be raised", and "be robbed" don't match the context of attention being drawn away.

Answer:

A. be distracted
