I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The narrator allude the to the possibility of requiring a wife who could match Adams social standards at the end of the sentence from Mark Twain's "The 1,000,000 Bank-Note". Hope this answers the question.
Answer:
But the rose-colour swiftly faded." I emphasize with this phrase/quote as it symbolises that the warmth of the colour rose was fading away, which shows that something dreadful had occured for this to happen. The verb "swiftly" means quickly showing a quite similarity of someones life ending. Comparing to the rest of the extract this phrase shows how the sky was drained out of its colour. This phrase implies the sky is slowly loosing its happy touch which gives off some sort of hope to the reader.
