We can select the correct answer among the multiple-choices. The author doesn't insult the readers because there is not any valid evidence to prove it. The same applies to the second option. We don't know that the narrator is knowledgeable or not - we need extra information to confirm that. The excerpt is just one sentence and it is clearly defined that there is nothing complicated. The only correct and suitable option is the last one since the answer is closer to understand. The correct answer is D.

Sergeeva-Olga [200]
Throughout the story, the moon dies. At the beginning of the story, she is bright and vibrant. However, at the end of the story, the narrator describes her saying, " Her once ivory skin was now crumpled...her arm...was thin and interrupted by bruised veins." Slowly the darkness of the night is taking over. The narrator describes her fading when he says, "she was dimming...Soon, I could only see a shimmer of white." At the end of the story the moon dies and leaves behind a few embers of "silvery, sparkling dust" which give the narrator hope.
