The story likely takes place during the civil war in the United States. The Rostina Sharpshooters were a regiment of soldiers (all of whom were marksmen meaning they could hit what they aimed at). The men in question are being shot at by these sharpshooters who must be too far away even for them. But the men are quite nervous about what they are doing.
If you consider this an example of very black humor, then E is your answer. Certainly the men are uneasy. They feel comfortable about nothing that is going on. They are hesitant to search the body. They are very tentative about how to deal with the service. They can't make up their minds if they should continue with the body or wait until the next day. They can't remember the service. Everything about this scene is delay, discussion and a hesitant move forward. They even have trouble with where to put the first few shovelfuls of dirt. You have to pick uneasy.
You have to pick E, but if it is humorous, there certainly is no laughter.

In his poem "For a Lady I Know," Countee Cullen depicts the clash between the upper and lower classes of society. The poem is assumed to be about upper-class white Americans who treat African Americans poorly. He points out the audacity of the upper class to presume that African Americans would continue to wait on them forever, even after death:
She even thinks that up in heaven
Her class lies late and snores
While poor black cherubs rise at seven
To do celestial chores.
This poem suggests that white Americans don’t want to help improve the lifestyle of poor African Americans but are comfortable with the minority races serving them forever.

Adverbs modify (describe) verbs or other adverbs and often end in -ly. You need to locate the verb to determine at least one of the adverbs (the action of the sentence.) This is a complex sentence because it has an independent clause (it was not exactly what he had in mind) and a subordinate clause (when he agreed to do the task). If you just look at the independent clause, or the one that can stand by itself, you will find the verb 'was'. Ask yourself 'was what'. The answer is not, which means it is the adverb. To find the adverb describing it, we again ask, 'not what'. The answer is exactly. So the answer is A.
Well, using my limited knowledge, "cleaving" means to chop, break in half, split, etc. Twain means twice. So, perhaps it's like "you've broke my heart in half", something along those lines? hopefully this helps you.
Try using better words for the little words you use. Maybe for an example say, And this is the reason because. Or maybe another reason due to this is...
