I'm pretty sure that the excerpt given above contains metaphor. Because of "smart cookie.". So your answer is A.
The correct answer is B) Voice is a writer's distinctive way of "speaking" on the page.
I think that the options you have are gloom, temptation, forgiveness and suspicion. The option that you are looking for is gloom which is more inclined to a depressed environment with those words.
In the excerpt attached to this question, the speaker was complaining bitterly about the death of his men brought about by lack of warm clothe and food. In the bid to look for food, those of his men who are still alive are missing and no one knows their whereabouts. Thus, the correct option for this question is B.<span />
