It was with difficulty that I could bring myself to admit the identity

It was with difficulty that I could bring myself to admit the identity of the wan being before me with the companion of my early boyhood. What does the wording of this sentence convey to the reader? His friend seems so changed that he barely recognizes him. His friend has been cruel to him too many times. His friend is being impersonated by someone else. His friend no longer respects their history together.

The correct answer is A. His friend seems so changed that he barely recognizes him.

Explanation:

In literature and writing, the term "wording" refers to the selection of words by the author and the narrator and the way these are used to convey a specific message or point and that varies according to each author and the context in which the message appears. In the case of the excerpt presented the author or narrator is referring to another character and for doing this he uses the expression "It was with difficulty that I could bring myself to admit the identity of the wan being before me", which shows the narrator feels hesitant to admit who is character is, especially because of his physical appearance and pale skin and then the narrator adds "with the companion of my early boyhood", which means the narrator is comparing the pale man he sees with his companion or fiend when he was a kid and considering they are the same person the narrator feels he barely recognizes this person, even though he was an important friend in childhood. This means, the selection and use of words by the narrator mainly tells the reader the narrators' "friend seems so changed that he barely recognizes him".

Question
How did Elizabethan England influence Shakespeare and his writing?
Solution 1
One sixteenth-century event that definitely influenced the works of William Shakespeare, and Hamletin particular, was the Protestant Reformation. This was the effort, led by Martin Luther, to reform the Catholic Church – an effort that eventually led to a major break with Catholicism and the establishment of many separate Protestant churches.  Lutheranism was one form of Protestantism; Calvinism was another form; and, in England, Anglicanism was yet another form.

Which version of the sentence uses correct parallel structure? Route 83 will be closed for road construction, while Highway 175 will have two open lanes. Route 83 will be closed for road construction, while Highway 175 having two open lanes. Route 83 will be closed for road construction, while Highway 175 to have two open lanes. Route 83 will be closed for road construction, while Highway 175 with two open lanes.
Solution 1
Route 83 will be closed for road construction, while Highway 175 will have two open lanes.

Parallelism is the repetition of the same grammatical structure. Many native English speakers use it automatically when listing things they did during the day. For example, yesterday I went running, swimming, and shopping. The verbs all ending in -ing gives them the same grammatical structure. In this sentence, each section (except for the conjunction) begins with the subject then the helping verb will, and is followed by the description. The other options do not have the same grammatical structure in the phrases before and after while.

Solution 1
Letter A. "Death, thou shalt die." explains the poem in the briefest yet clearest way possible. Donne says that if the person is a believer, it is death that will die and not the believer. Thus, the saying "Death, you shall die." The physical body of a person dies but after that, he will be reborn spiritually and will live again.

Question
The words "the sighing trees" in the poem above are an example of _____.
Solution 1

Answer:

Personification

Explanation:

The term "personification" refers to a literary device in which non-human objects and ideas are given human characteristics. This device is particularly common in poetry. In this example, the trees are meant to be "sighing." This is impossible from a literal point of view, as trees are not humans and thus cannot sigh. Therefore, we can conclude that the author is using personification.

Solution 2
Personification because the trees are "sighing" 
Question
