Which line from Daly's "Sixteen" best conveys the narrator's feeling of longing?

"He was whistling softly and I waited until the sound faded away so I couldn't tell if it was he or my heart whistling out there in night."
"The air was tense with sudden cold and a gust of wind swirled his footprints into the white oblivion."
"Tonight is Tuesday and my homework's done, and I darned some stocking that didn't really need it."
"I can't think of anything, anything but snowflakes and ice skates and yellow moon and Thursday night."

The answer is D) "I can't think of anything, anything but snowflakes and ice skates and yellow moon and Thursday night." The author conveys the feeling of longing by using examples such as "snowflakes", "ice skates", "yellow moon" and "Thursday night" which were all details of the night she met the man she loved. She longed to go back to that night.
