D. All of the above

Explanation:

Euphemism:

It is a technique in which author/speaker uses mild, polite or less harsh words to express something which is impolite, harsh or unpleasant. e.g He passed away, instead of saying he died (uses less harsh words).

Author has used "problem with passing wind" which is a polite way to talk about this particular problem (gas problem).

Doublespeak:

It is deliberate use of obscure words used to distort, disguise, or reverse the meaning of words. Doublespeak may also take the form of euphemism. In such case the main purpose of using doublespeak is to make the truth sound less harsh, or polite.

Author's use of "someone" and "problem wit passing wind" is to obscure and disguise his/her unpleasant experience.

Inflated Language:

In this technique, author speaker uses indirect language, mostly using doublespeak, and use words or terms which may apparently seem confusing in expressing the concept/meaning. Like doublespeak, one of the purposes of using inflated language is euphemizing the harsh truth or something impolite.

By using "problem with passing wind" the narrator is using indirect language which apparently seem confusing and use doublespeak to tell an unpleasant fact/problem in a polite way.

Which two parts of this excerpt from mary shelley’s frankenstein reveals information about the setting? (it was on a dreary night of november that i beheld the accomplishment of my toils.) with an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, (i collected the instruments of life around me, that i might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. it was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out) when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, i saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs. (how can i describe my emotions at this catastrophe), or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care i had endeavored to form? his limbs were in proportion, and i had selected his features as beautiful. beautiful! great god! (his yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; ) but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same color as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shriveled complexion and straight black lips.
