They both "roar"
here is a metaphor using that likeness:
The thunder roared like a mighty lion.
As in so many mystery novels, Roger Ackroyd is set in a small, isolated community where everybody knows everybody else. The isolated, close-knit setting 1) suggests that the criminal is someone who everybody knows, and 2) creates a paranoid, suspenseful mood, since the criminal is hiding a big secret from their neighbors. It’s also telling that the owners of the two most “important houses” in town are also the two main victims of the novel.
Your first option, "I have taken all the stress I can stand.", is a line of dialogue.
Dialogue is speaking/talking. The second and last options cannot be examples of dialogue because they are not being spoken (you can tell by the lack of quotation marks).The third option is also incorrect because it is what is written, as it says "the study reported" (the study does not speak). Therefore, the first option is correct.
