The style of Didion's Blue Nights is, it‘s true, hesitant, ruminative, sometimes

The first sentence is almost pure vocabulary.

The style of his book is hesitant (shy), ruminative (preparing and verbose), sometimes...we do need a word in the same line

B is the choice even though you do not know the meaning because for the POE sanguine means strong and good, prosaic means as a matter of fact or straight.

B is the answer which means complaining basically

.

I can explain that :
Prosaic mean ordinary,unimaginative i.e DULL, which exactly meets with what we need.
Where as B option means petulant for which I was unable to find reference in the sentence or I am missing something.
