The book is called "The Sniper" by Liam O'Flaherty and was wrote in sometime between 1897-1984. It is based around a guy named O'Connell Bridge a Republican sniper who was in the midst of the civil war. He was trapped on a rooftop building surrounding by enemy forces and was trying to find where his enemies were located. O'Connell is young with a young face around his late twenties and is the only character that has a name in the book. What surprised me most was at the end of the story where Bridge takes down a sniper who turned out to be his brother which you find out later in the story.
B, because it doesn't exactly quicken as in a, no odd characters are introduced, and these not really any details we need to know that are left out. I picked B because there are intentionally larger words.
Well, nothing is capitalized. The word <em>we </em>is the subject. The phrase <em>solemn vigil </em>is the direct object. The phrase <em>at the funeral </em>is adverbial modifier.
