Is this the excerpt you are referring to?
<span>In a smithy
one sees a white-hot axehead or an adze
plunged and wrung in a cold tub, screeching steam-
the way they make soft iron hale and hard—:
just so that eyeball hissed around the spike.
</span>
If so, the use of the epic simile in this excerpt helps the reader understand how hot the spear actually is.
Answer:
Enjambed line.
Explanation:
In poetry, an enjambment is a literary device in which there is a disproportion between the syntax and the metric of a verse.
It can easily be recognized as the idea is not fully expressed by the end of a verse. An enjambment breaks the thought in two and it must be continued through the following line.
This literary device was frowned upon by the classics but was kindly welcomed by the romantics due to its strong <em>expressiveness</em>.
I honestly think (A) makes most sense, though it would be better if you showed the paragraphs to make more sense of this question. I can only guess because there is no story, so I think its (A)! It relates to the title, "Aiden Goes Silent". So (A)...

Answer:
The correct option described second is <em>"The tone is the same, but the word choice is less formal, probably for a younger reading audience."</em>
Explanation:
Replacing <em>"of the Victorian era"</em> with <em>"during a period of time known as the Victorian era" </em>shows less formality and a bit more explanation for younger readers.
Also <em>"distinguished" </em>is replaced with <em>"respected"</em> which is less formal and easier to be understood by younger readers.
The replacement of <em>"Her poetry influenced ..... and Emily Dickinson"</em> in first version with this long sentence <em>"Her poetry was very ............. by Ms. Browning"</em> in second version reduces formality to make it easier to understand for younger audience.
