(A)-

We can never truly ease another’s loneliness and isolation, but we should try.

Answer 2

The correct answer is the final option - Enjoy life as you live it because you never know when it will be taken from you.
Carpe diem is the topic of this short story - seize the day. You shouldn't dwell on the past or think about the future much, but rather enjoy this day as much as you can, because before you know it, it will be gone and you will have wasted most of it on unimportant things.
