The positive connotations I found in the excerpt are the following: mean, to be part of it, vowed, banner of freedom and peace and instruments of knowledge and understanding. The freedom and peace through knowledge and understanding is what we, as humans should mean. These words uses contrast to negative thoughts, which make the excerpt's tone inspirational.
Can you restate this question
I would say that it is C and D because it obviously shows Wiesel questioning why God should be worshiped and then he asked what there even is to thank God for because he is silent and you can tell by the tone that he is upset.
