Explanation
Correct answer: D.
Choice D is the best answer it most accurately states the main idea of the text. The speaker describes going to bed for “repose” (rest) but finding that his thoughts are focused on the friend the speaker is addressing, and the thoughts are keeping the speaker awake.
Why the other choices are wrong
Choice A
Choice A is incorrect because the speaker isn’t asleep; the thoughts about the friend are keeping the speaker awake.
Choice B
Choice B is incorrect because the speaker isn’t talking about taking a literal trip; rather, the speaker uses the metaphor of a journey to describe internal thoughts.
Choice C
Choice C is incorrect because the speaker isn’t having a discussion with the friend.

it isn't A because he is not asleep yet, as it mentions in the text, "And keep my drooping eyelids open wide". SO the best answer would be D
