The line that best paraphrases the excerpt is A. And when I think that I’ll never see you again, beautiful creature (...).
To paraphrase is to express the meaning of something by rewording it in a different way. Both the excerpt and option A express the same: that the poet is considering the possibility of never looking at the beautiful "creature" again.
Despite his other successes, Wilde never became the he Novelist had hoped to be.
b is right option
hope this helps
A transitive verb has a direct object and usually, the subject is doing the action towards that object. The subject performs the action and the object receives the actions. So I believe D is the answer.
