<span>Option D is the correct choice. It indicates, better than the other options, how the narrator is unable to enjoy a simple nights rest. The usage of "alas" shows that this was the final straw in the torment, not being able to sleep anymore. Compared to option A where the narrator is still able to state clearly that they are not mad. Option B only shows a dislike which doesn't stress the torment requirement from the question. Option C does show torment but it more so indicates the early stages of this happening.</span>
Ray Bradbury was always scared of the future. Books that he wrote including the Pedestrian and Fahrenheit 451, were about the future and what it will become. I believe that if Ray Bradbury were alive today, he would feel very strongly about limiting our use of technology.
Hope this helps! Have a great day :)

An understatement is a figure of speech employed by writers or speakers to intent
For example, you win 10 million dollars in a lottery. When you tell a news reporter “I am delighted,” you are making an understatement. Similarly, suppose a team loses to its opponent 50 to 0 in a soccer match, and the captain of the team says in a post-match ceremony, “We did not do well,” it is an understatement because he is trying to decrease the intensity of the loss.
An understatement usually has an ironic effect, as an equally intense response is expected in severe situations, but the statement in response is the opposite of what was expected. For instance, your friend returns your new coat with a large wine stain on the front of it. In response, you make an understatement, “It doesn’t look too bad.” Therefore, an understatement is opposite to another figure of speech, hyperbole, which is an overstatement.
ionally make a situation seem less important than it really is.

Instead of the possessive pronoun su/sus , it could be used the prepositional phrase DE + name or pronoun for clarity or emphasis. For example: los libros de usted. This is to avoid confusion because Su/sus can be use with different meanings<span>
