In the first excerpt, First generation, and second excerpt, Like Americans, they are both similar because both of them relates an anecdote to appeal to the reader's emotions.
Correct option is A.
"Each relates an anecdote to appeal to the reader's emotions."
They are similar insofar that they use the same tenses, that is the past simple tense, and short clear sentences that tell of a story in the past. The style is simple with few adjectives and not that many clauses or phrases. This kind of a style was made popular by Ernest Hemingway, but others wrote like it too, like the paragraphs here.

Answer:
1. I once feared that I would fail an examination.
2. It made me feel panicky and always on the edge.
3. I feel relieved now to look back on the fear experienced.
Explanation:
In my second year of college, I wrote an examination while ill. The sickness made reading quite a challenge but I still put in the needed effort despite my condition. After writing an exam on one of the subjects that I did not really like, I actually felt that I would fail the subject.
This made me always feel panicky and I dreaded seeing my results. However, on a sunny afternoon, while returning from school, I learned that the results were out. When I logged on to my student page to check the results with my heart in my mouth, it was really a surprise to see that I passed the course with a Credit.
I feel relieved and looking back on the fear I had then, I think that I wasted my energy and emotions worrying about something I could no longer do much about.
C. You have to hurt him to help him.
