Experts estimate that half of elementary school children consume nine times the recommended daily allowance of sugar. This statement is specific, but it isn't a thesis. It merely reports a statistic instead of making an assertion.
IThe metaphor affects the meaning in the sense that it is not at all helping the other features in showing positive emotions.

By having Winterbourne first meet Randolph instead of Daisy, Henry James is able to establish some indirect inferences about Daisy. She has a younger brother, who is a bit impetuous, as the reader will find Daisy to be. He is a bit manipulative in that he approaches someone he has never met to ask a favor, "Will you give me a lump of sugar?" and with this he pushes his advantage and takes three cubes. This is also very much like his sister as she uses her feminine wiles to get Winterbourne to promise to take her to see the castle. So, in these things, James is able to introduce, in Randolph, some of the traits that the reader will later find in Daisy.
Ramdolph sybolizes the the patriotic fervor seen in many Americans, which the Europeans cannot seem to understand. In Randolph's eyes everything is better in America, 'I can't get any candy here—any American candy. American candy's the best candy," ""American men are the best." He says that even the moon is better in America, "You can't see anything here at night, except when there's a moon. In America there's always a moon!" This unrealistic view of his home country shows his unreserved love for America, but also tends to point towards the shortcomings of teh European countries and his dislike for them, in that they have nothing to compare to America, in Randolph's mind. This is, often, the way in which people see Americans, both proud and boastful, without a desire to understand other cultures.

As usual in life, motives can be complicated. The theme of Ivan Illych marrying this woman because of her money and her social position is one possibility that he discusses (she comes from a "good" family and has some property). The other theme is that she is pretty and he fell in love with her and to some extent she complements his views on life. In choosing from the options, re the themes, I would say that a) conforming to social conventions and b) the necessity of companionshp should be the two main themes in this excerpt.
