Answers

The answer is D. If I give in to this foolish journey, I will be wasting my time.

This is the part where Dante is asking the muses why he was chosen for this journey. He doubts his worthiness and capabilities.

There are some clues also in the lines.

"surrender myself" = giving in. 
"going there," and "undertaking," is best described by the word journey (as compared to the other choices)
"folly." means foolish.
D. If I give in to this foolish journey, I will be wasting my time.

Dante was doubtful ofhis worthiness to the mission and is indecisive about the journeyhe is about to make. He was feeling insecure about his ability to succeed inthe expedition. In Canto, 34-35, he asked pleadingly or advice.

Read this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich: "It's God will. We shall all come to it some day," said Gerasim, displaying his teeth—the even white teeth of a healthy peasant—and, like a man in the thick of urgent work, he briskly opened the front door, called the coachman, helped Peter Ivanovich into the sledge, and sprang back to the porch as if in readiness for what he had to do next. What can you conclude about Gerasim from the phrase "the even white teeth of a healthy peasant?"

Answers

Although Gerasim is sure of the fact that he and everyone shall die someday he maintains an absolute equanimity.

That description of him: "The even white teeth of a healthy peasant", emphasized by the author narrating the dialogue between Gerasim and Ivan, who was laying on his deathbed, allows us to imagine a person who has such peace of mind and soul, that he is not worried about death, therefore, while still alive, he takes good care of his health, a fact represented by his "even white teeth". Gerasim is trying to provide peace to Ivan, and he is under such remarkable serenity that he even smiles a bit, thus, allowing "us" to see his white teeth.
