A

Explanation:

The answer is "A," the statement "creates a vivid image of being utterly alone." The evidence to support this can be viewed both figuratively and literally. Words like "lonely," "unfortunately," and "single," are connotate lonesomeness and depravity. Metaphorically speaking, the palm tree is representative of George, something very much alive that resides in a climate without any others like him. Hope this helped!
