I don’t understand your question
What? You have to ask a question! Nothing is being asked or anything.
It's tirade because a tirade is an angry, long, bitter speech or outburst.
2, 4, and 5 have to be the answer by process of elimination
Edit: 4 "he followed out his original design," is incorrect but 2 "Endowed with commonsense, as massive and hard as blocks of granite" and 5 "On the score of delicacy, or any scrupulousness which a finer sensibility might have taught him, the Colonel, like most of his breed and generation, was impenetrable." are.
