For the first question the best quote emphasising the power of his music would be “His songs were so sad that no human could bear to listen to them”. As in they moved people to the point it hurt them to listen, because his music was that powerful. The first and second answer choice are just saying he’s skilled but not necessarily that it’s powerful and then the last answer choice isn’t saying anything about the music just that he was singing.
The other one I’m not as sure of but I believe it would be showing the strength of his love for his wife, it could be the second one but I would say it wasn’t. The last answer choice is to literal and it can’t be comparing his life to a life without his wife’s love because it isn’t a simile or a metaphor which are for comparisons.
When things are compared using "like" or "as," we call this a simile.
Answer and explanation:
The purpose of using dashes in this excerpt is to set off an appositive sentence that contains commas. An appositive sentence is a structure that offers further information on something mentioned before it. Appositives can usually be set off by commas but, when they are long and present commas in their own structure, they are set off by dashes.
In the excerpt we are studying here, the appositive "-so-called because they used to, like, DECLARE things to be true, okay, as opposed to other things are, like, totally, you know, not-" is a very long one and full of commas. It is supposed to offer further information on what declarative sentences are.

Explanation:
One day I went to the store
I bought sugar and a pinwheel
With money from my mom.
On another day I was walking
And a car had some weird exhaust-
It smelled like lavender.
The calendar said there would be mist,
So maybe it was that instead.
I have faith that you will figure it out.
