The correct option is <u><em>B. Missing words in a quotation</em></u>.

Further Explanation:

The use of ellipses indicates the missing words in a quotation. All the other three options are incorrect to be selected for the use of ellipses.

An ellipsis is referred to the series of dots mentioned in the sentence to indicate the omission in the sentence. The omission can either be of a word, phrase or the entire section. The original meaning is not altered during the process. Ellipses not just indicate a sentence left intentionally uncompleted, but it also represents the pause or any awkward silence prevailing in the speech. When the ellipses are used at the end of the sentence, they indicate the untold feeling or an unexpressed thought. In the beginning, they indicate the silence which the speaker gets into before starting his speech. One of the most commonly used ellipses is triple-dot glyph (...). There are certain rules which are to follow while using the ellipses. At one hand a dot (.) which is also known as a period or full stop is used to end the statement. On the other hand, three such dots (...) symbolizes the continuation of the speech. It indicates a long speech ahead which has not been mentioned at a particular time.

disa [49]
Like lambs to a slaughter suggests that the slugs (much like the sheep) have no idea that death comes soon, for the slugs either the birds will get them, they get dried out(?), or they risk being found by a human. For the sheep, they’re happy because they have an unlimited supply of food and they’re happy, but they’re being led to their deaths.

Elie Wiesel is quite emphatic about the cruelty of the Nazis. At the same time, he holds a great deal of anger towards Jewish individuals who failed to speak out and act in a manner that defied indifference. Throughout Night, we see instances where the cruelty and dehumanization the Nazis showed towards Jewish individuals, similar treatment is shown with Jewish individuals towards one another.

Why did Kafka fear his father?
Verdich [7]
Kafka feared his father because he was emotionally abusive towards him, he was very careless about what he said about his own son in front of other people, often belittling him and at times humiliating him in front of others. They were very estranged, didn't speak as much, and it seemed to Franz that his father was very disappointed when it came to his son.
