If we imagine ourselves in the scene in which the witness speaks with a firm and confident voice saying "that is the man I saw", the most probable thing is that it convinces us because she is very sure of herself, the witness does not doubt it for a moment, she/he is stating it.
The word <u>averred</u> can be replaced by <u>stated</u> since they have the same meaning. Other synonims can be claim, declare or affirm.
The answer is D because that's the best example
This quote has no mention of a deity (divine authority) or society as a whole (civil obedience), and the only mention of gender is the author's reference to his sibling as "brother." The final line "<span>I won't be caught betraying him." drives the assumption that failing to do his "duty to [his] brother" would violate some sort of bond between he and his brother. Since we only know this relationship as familial, we must assume familial loyalty is the theme.</span>
