Explanation:
In the poem, we note an interesting detail in the last two lines as to why the old woman sees herself as a "terrible fish". The line says,
<em>"In me she has drowned a young girl, and in me an old woman / Rises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish."</em>
The woman uses such expressions above to show that with the passage of time, her youthfulness like a drowning fish has passed away, bringing old age.
By comparing herself to a fish, she symbolizes her aging self to a fish on land seeking survival after it is taken from its natural habitat.
By using the expression "terrible" she depicts her hopeless condition as regards becoming young again, just as a fish taken from water enters a terrible situation.

The literary device used in these lines is Personification.
The personification is a figure of speech in which a thing is given human attributes. The non-human objects are portrayed in such a way that we feel they have the capacity to act like human beings. This device makes the piece more interesting to read and makes it more sensitive to the reader.
In context, the fifth paragraph (“Its appeal is inscrutable….”) serves as a transitional element that introduced new thoughts that describe the nature of Filet-O-Fish.
Transitional elements are phrases and words that help to link thoughts and connect ideas.
They can also be used to move from one thought to another.
In the article, "Why the Filet-O-Fish Is My Gold Standard for Fast Food," by Jane Hu, the author used a transitional element in the fifth paragraph to go into a detailed description about the features of the Filet-O-Fish that makes people like it.
So, there is a movement from one thought to another using this element.
(Note that your options are not provided to choose from. However, the answer is a general function of transitional elements.)
