d.his masterpiece sculpture was once a living man.

Answer 1

The figurative language suggests a disconnect between the speaker's emotional state and humanity, with a reflection symbolizing a distorted self-identity possibly related to traumatic experiences.

Step-by-step explanation:

The figurative language in the excerpt likely expresses the speaker's sense of disconnection from emotion and humanity, symbolized by being 'stone' and contrasting with being 'flesh'. The 'clouded reflection' suggests a distorted self-image or identity, potentially as a consequence of trauma or profound experiences.

This interpretation most closely aligns with option C (his reflection seems to be a part of the war memorial wall) which suggests a blurry boundary between the speaker and a symbol of collective memory and loss often found in war memorials.
