The authors are required to provide sufficient evidences while including a claim or argument in a literary work not only to substantiate the claim but also to enhance its credibility and objectivity.
As per the question, option D displays the statement that best assesses the evidence in the text as <u>it reflects that the authors efficiently employ data that are verifiable which leads to validate their claim objectively and the use of a quotation from an expert functions to back(support) their claim and establish the reliability and significance of their point/claim among the readers.</u> Therefore, such evidences would promote a strong and effective conclusion.

Answer: melancholy menace.
Explanation:
In his poem,<em>''The Bells''</em>, Poe associates different types of bells with the feelings they evoke in him. He first describes the silver bells of the sleds, which are merry. He proceeds with the golden bells of weddings, that bring peaceful happiness. There is a change in tone, however, when Poe introduces the brazen alarm bells that scream in the night and bring horror and anger. Finally, the iron bells are melancholy and announce death, sadness and pain. This is best reflected in line 75: ''<em>At the melancholy menace of their tone!''</em>
Identify supporting Details
In the first excerpt it is this sentence:"It was a difficult moment, but I did what seemed right, which was to say, "Of course not," and then to take her onto my lap and hold her for a while."
Here we see that the author is really not comfortable with the question his daughter asked him and thus he lies to her. You can see the pain he feels in just one sentence and the horrors that are hidden behind. One day he may tell her but not then.
"They would discuss their experiences right up to the time of battle and then suddenly they wouldn't talk anymore."
This sentence in the second excerpt show the unwillingness of the usually boastful people to talk about the war in detail. The author notices that they don't remember and it could potentially be that they wanted not to remember. Unconsciously they blocked the horrible things they had done and seen.
