It creates the feeling that New York is a living being.
Personification is giving nonhuman things human-like traits. In the sentence New York is described as having pockets and breathing. It's also described as having a morning and a night. These are all things a living being has. There are no noises besides breathing described, and this is not noisy. The conditions are also not described as being crowded. The tone is not predatory or negative so this also eliminates option B.

Answer:
The statement which is best supported by text evidence from the excerpt is:
A. Heating was a generally known means of reading invisible ink.
Explanation:
<u>According to the excerpt, James Jay's invisible ink would "elude the generally known means of detection." What was that means? Heating, as is stated right before the sentence. Heating was so well know that Jay was sure the enemy would try to use it to reveal the writings in the messages. However, his new ink would not appear with heating. It needed another chemical to be made visible.</u>
We can easily eliminate the other options. The excerpt does not give us enough information to infer that Jay was seen as a hero. At no point does the passage lead us to understand that the British also had access to the ink. Finally, the excerpt does not at all say that Washington helped develop the new invisible ink.
