<span>The narrator arrives on the premises expecting that Roderick will be ill given the letter that he previously received from him. He says that the letter itself speaks to the nervous agitation that Roderick must be experiencing and expects that Roderick will not be in his right mind. When the narrator finally makes contact with Roderick he is absolutely shocked by the changes that Roderick's appearance has undergone. Roderick greets the narrator with such "vivacious" warmth that the narrator is taken aback, questioning the sincerity of the greeting. However, upon looking more carefully at Roderick the narrator is reassured of the genuineness of his expression and settles down to take in Roderick's full appearance. Upon examining Roderick's face, the narrator is shocked at the dramatic shift in the narrator's boyhood good looks, comparing Roderick to a wasting away corpse but still maintaining some of the natural appealing qualities which he once bore. It is clear that Roderick was once a vivacious and attractive individual but now suffers from great anxiety and misery given his condition. In fact, the narrator is so surprised by Roderick's current condition that he doubts the fact that it is the same person that he once knew. Moreover, Roderick's actions add to the perplexing nature of Roderick's appearance. The narrator describes Roderick's inconsistent behavior as being full of life at one moment and absolutely sullen the next. This strange behavior reinforces previous characterizations of Roderick as anxiety-ridden and ill, which is a dramatic shift from his previous character. </span>

“The cough is a mere nothing. It will not kill me. I shall not die of a cough” this part of the passage is very ironic because he really won’t die of a cough but he is explaining the cough to be nothing for him to be worried about
Answer:
The narrator realizes that the god was a man.
Explanation:
The paragraph you were given is the following:
At first I was afraid to approach him—then the fear left me. He was sitting looking out over the city—he was dressed in the clothes of the gods. His age was neither young nor old—I could not tell his age. But there was wisdom in his face and great sadness. You could see that he would have not run away. He had sat at his window, watching his city die—then he himself had died. But it is better to lose one's life than one's spirit—and you could see from the face that his spirit had not been lost. I knew, that, if I touched him, he would fall into dust—and yet, there was something unconquered in the face.
The correct option is the third one. Initially, he was afraid to approach, but then the fear left him and he decided to continue observing the god, who turned out to be a man and died along with his city. There is nothing telling us that the narrator is feeling as powerful as a god, or that he distrusts the spirits. The only mention of a spirit is the person's spirit, the one that must not be lost.
