Answer

B

D

Explanation
The passage uses vivid figurative language to help readers picture the scene. The wind “sang,” and the sunset blossomed “like a rose unfolding,” creating a beautiful image of the evening. Although it mentions what the couple did and how they remembered it, its main purpose is not to explain events or their relationship.
