The answer is D. Kindhearted
Are there answer choices? If not, Just reading over this passage for the first time, It seems the narrator could be describing something very majestic, like a statue built in the ocean, of a god or something. it seems as though the narrator personifies this statue as though the statue itself is a character and has feelings, maybe even something to hide. Hope this helps!

Both a clause and a phrase refer to a group of related words. The only difference is that a clause has a subject and a verb, whereas a phrase does not. Phrases are usually parts of clauses, whereas clauses are parts of sentences.
The speaker feels as if it tragic and this is being shown the exaggeration and use of a hyperbole.
