Answer 1

most likely A because of the imagery the author is using which describes silence

Answer 2

Answer: A) It gives readers a concrete picture of the quality of the silence.

In this excerpt, the author is describing the silence that surrounded him at dawn. Silence is difficult to describe, so he uses images that he believes convey a similar feeling. By imagining the pressure one feels from water, the reader can imagine the hold that silence had on the author. It gives the reader a concrete picture of the quality of this silence.
