I think that the question is looking for a synonym of one word in the sentence.
and the answer would be:
1.the decorations were reminiscent (=reminding) of autumn leaves.
2.No buildings still stood at the epicenter=
- point on earth directly above an earthquake.
3.The puppy
wrested (pulled) the squeaky toy from under the couch.
4.Luis angled the car obliquely into the parking spot and
passed his drivers license test
Here the best answer is "indirectly" since it's one of the meanings of the word "obliquely.
I honestly think (A) makes most sense, though it would be better if you showed the paragraphs to make more sense of this question. I can only guess because there is no story, so I think its (A)! It relates to the title, "Aiden Goes Silent". So (A)...
