The word that fits here best is "enthusiasm;" however, I am unclear if that is one of your vocabulary words.
The themes are grief, negativity, and depression. You can see this through the mood of the protagonist and the overall mood of the story.
The change that would make the excerpt more argumentative is "including words that address logic and reason," as stated in option C and explained below.
<h3>What does argumentative mean?</h3>
A say a text is argumentative when it aims to defend and support the author's opinion or view about a certain topic. The excerpt from “Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry” that we are analyzing here does defend an opinion, but in quite a lighthearted way.
The author already employs words that evoke emotions and affect trust. He does not use much repetition, which means that, to make the excerpt more argumentative, the best change would be to use words that address logic and reason.
By appealing to logic, the author would be able to support his opinion and persuade readers to join him. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

The simile is to hold it (love) like a candle flame. Similes always use like or as when comparing to things not normally comparable, and this is the only instance of that occurring in this passage.
