The correct answer is B.

In the excerpt of John Donne's Sonnet 10, the phrase "we wake eternally" is an example of hyperbole because it exaggerates the idea for the sake of emphasis.

The author wants to express the idea that the characters have had little sleep and now have to be awake for a very long time.

2, 4, and 5 have to be the answer by process of elimination

Edit: 4 "he followed out his original design," is incorrect but 2 "Endowed with commonsense, as massive and hard as blocks of granite" and 5 "On the score of delicacy, or any scrupulousness which a finer sensibility might have taught him, the Colonel, like most of his breed and generation, was impenetrable." are.
