Answer:

2) To present an interpretation.

The author of the passage is providing an interpretation of the book in this sentence. He is arguing that the novel is affirmative and hopeful, and that it stresses the power of humans to reach for greatness and inspire others. This is never explicitly stated in the novel. Therefore, the argument is based on his subjective views and analysis.

4) He also suffers a painful loss.

This revision is the best one for sentence 4. It gives the reader the same idea as the other options. However, it is written more clearly and in an active voice.
