Ad hominem is an attack against the arguer instead of the argument itself in order to cast doubts about arguer's argument.
What is your question
Vast means too large to see and trunk less means Legs without a body. If referring to problems that is a figurative way of saying it is too large of a problem and being trunkless means no substance. And too many little things building up to too many things.
Lots of interpretations above without a question or context. Sorry I wasn’t much more of a help
I believe it is the second one.
In my opinion correct answer is nbr. 1 "pets and items..." The artist can easily interpret several aspects of the individual's personality by observing these items that transmit likes and costumes, personal interests and pets that can speak, sometimes "loudly" about the personality of someone. Especially the way a person interacts with pets is one of the most valuable keys to reach the bottom of the soul that in some cases a person tries to hide.
