B. <span>He is brave, loyal, and unnaturally strong, and he leaves a great legacy for his people. He goes on a great journey, defeats monsters, and has supernatural help.</span>
I am pretty sure that device which is used to add emotional intensity in the excerpt is repetition. As for me, such appeal to captain is used to persuade the reader to pay attention and create <span>thrilling tone. I hope you find it helpful.</span>
It could either be B or C. B makes sense because he was hurt by the cat, but C makes sense because his soul "took flight" from his body and "fiendish malevolence" thrilled him. Id go with choice C.
