Marlow means that Kurtz has lost his mind in his search for ivory. Kurtz has become so obssessed with the accumulation of ivory that he has set his own "kingdom" inside the Congo where he has become a sort of god for the natives, and has them working for him.

Kurtz first aspirations were to win the love of a woman. Hunting ivory in the jungle provided respect and power, and it would also earn the respect of his lover's family, who rejected Kurtz because he was poor.

I believe the answer would be the second option, this is because the text states that amazonencore has been publishing since 2009, which eliminates the other choices (the first uses the word 'now' claiming they 'now' publish books, the second is not stated in the passage, so it isnt important. The last option claims amazon went through 'conflicts' but it did not, in fact the kindle is an amazon product) If you have any questions, dont hesitate to ask! I hope this helped!

If you are writing a humorous message, a humorous anecdote as an ending can be effective. If you’re writing a formal, informative essay, a formal summary of your overall message would make sense.
