C

Explanation
The repeated words “we” and “us” place the author among the people experiencing the event, making the account feel personal and shared. The emotional descriptions, such as “trembling,” “anguish,” and “the abyss opening,” also show that the passage is not just an objective list of facts or purely denotative language. The best choice is that the author personalizes the event by using “we” and “us.”
