Answer:

The correct answer is D) to provide a concrete example of his effect on people.

Explanation:

In the poem Richard Cory written by Edwin Arlington Robinson, the speaker describes Richard Cory and the effect he had on people.

In the lines “And he was always quietly arrayed, And he was always human when I talked; But I still fluttered pulses when I said, "Good-morning," and he glittered when I walked.” It is demonstrated how a simple greeting generated the effect of accelerating people's pulse.

Despite being a quiet person, he always proved to be a kind human.

Finally, at the end of the poem, Richard Cory ends up killing himself.
