Answer:

The second sentence uses the definition of the word.

Explanation :

In the second sentence the subject takes a medication that makes him/her "soporific", meaning it promprs him/her to sleep. Hence, the person has to avoid driving since it can be dangerous.  In the rest of the example there is no logical connection between the noun affected by "soporific" and the predicate: in all the other cases the effects stated are those of excitement, accelaration, and enhancement.

Answer:

B. Flying above the world makes people realize how small humans truly are.

Explanation:

The poem you are referring to is Window Seat by Molly McGinnis

The theme of the poem could be best identified as flying above the world makes people realize how small humans truly are.

The speaker viewed people as tiny bodies of light pushing slowly down the mountain roads from his flight flying above the world on his way back to Washington.

WINDOW SEAT

by Molly McGinnis

On my flight back to Washington at 4 am

in air marbled by night and snow

I leaned against the oval glass and saw

tiny bodies of light pushing slowly

down the mountain roads, each sphere

its own life full of sideways winds.

The flight attendant was humming

a movie score, pouring the coffee into paper cups.

I was thinking that every story I have

ever written in my head

has been about going home

when the student in the aisle seat tapped my shoulder

and said I do not want you to worry but do you mind

if I pray

while thirty thousand feet beneath his question

people plowed through a snowstorm hardly stopping

to ask for permission. As he whispered

in Arabic I imagined the white flurries

breezing into the sand gusts outside my old house

in the desert and pretended I could understand

while cars floated through the chalkboard dark

like prayers released from airplanes

granted sudden phosphorescence and instructed

not to drift upward, but to address

the stranger.
