Answer: It allows the reader to understand the lingering terror of the journey.
Explanation:
The description of the train's sound in the book titled "Night" by Elie Wiesel was to show what happens before death after there have been a lot of suffering. He used the sound of the train in order to show that there is still one final stage of pain to go through. This is justified by the expressions where it was stated that "a train rattles along Germany and that the train was filled with a moaning sound"
This give a graphic description of the sorrow and the pain that they the people had to go through. Therefore, Wiesel's unique point of view about the sound of a train whistle impacts the reader as it allows the reader to understand the lingering terror of the journey.
Nelson Mandela helped end apartheid, so A is incorrect. B would be right, but the white population is the minority in South Africa, not the majority. It ended in 1991, so C is not right. This leaves us with D, the correct answer. I hope this helps!
Similarities:

Decrease of monarchical powers:
The glorious revolution only severely reduced the power of the monarch, whereas the other two (French and American revolutions) effectively removed the monarch.

Here's a (very) brief summary of the fall of the Aztec empire, after the arrival of Hernando Cortes until the fall of Tenochtitlán (read a biography of Hernan Cortez here):
1519 (March 4): The Spaniards land in what is now Veracruz. The natives greet him with gifts. A contingent from Tenochtitlán also arrives with gifts. Cortes showed force and demonstrated his canons, terrifying the messengers.
Cortes sinks all the ships except one small vessel, and moves to the city-state of Tlaxcala. Generally speaking they begin on friendly terms.
The Spanish went on to Cholula. It's unclear what happened, but in the end many people in the city were killed by the Spanish. Read more about Cholula here.
1519 (Nov 8): Cortes and army arrives at Tenochtitlán, and begin on good terms. However, Cortes takes charge and demands tribute and some Roman Catholic shrines to replace the Aztec gods.
Cortes returns to the coast to defeat a rival Spanish army. The remaining soldiers join him.
The Aztecs revolt, driving the Spanish from the city. Cuitláhuac becomes emperor.
The Spanish go to Tlaxcala and make an alliance with them.
Most Aztec cities are conquered, and a siege of Tenochtitlán begins.
1521 (13 August): The last Aztec emperor, Cuauhtémoc, surrenders to Cortes.
