Hello!
In the first excerpt, I'm assuming that the underlined word that you are unsure of its meaning is cloy'd. This word means excessive sweetness, so the correct answer is C. overly sentimental.
In the second excerpt, the word we're looking for is probably half-impaired. Impaired means weakened, or damaged, so the correct answer is A. partially damaged.
In the third excerpt, the unknown word is loth, which means unwilling to do something, so the correct answer is B. reluctant or unwilling.
Hope this Helps! Have A Wonderful Day! :)
In my opinion, the correct answer is <span>C. " I see you shining like a jewel of night".

Iambic pentameter is a rhythmic scheme that consists of five iambs - two-syllable feet that consist of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one (it sounds something like this: da DA da DA da DA da DA da DA). Therefore, this line is pronounced like this (the accentuated syllables are bolded, and slashes separate the iambs): I see / you shi / ning like / a jewel / of night.
I think it is possibly A or C if eliminating answers helps you.
