A is the answer to your question
The two words Bradbury uses repeatedly in this scene are "The beetle". The repetition adds to the suspense of the scene. Each time "the beetle" is repeated the reader can feel the car getting closer and closer. Because the sentences are very short and similarly structured, they speed up the pace of the scene just like the car is picking up speed.
A is my guess or b because it’s his girlfriend
Another word for battered is often scarred, and it seems as though they have been through hardships from their dialogue and feelings, so I think the likely answer would be scarred.
I was writing a story.
I have written poems.
I have been writing a novel.
I had written a song.
<span>I had been written up for fighting.
</span>
The last one is sort of weird, since you can't say "I had been written" in the sense of the verb "write" as it would be grammatically incorrect.
