The fourth statement is correct.
"A Psalm of Life" is an optimistic exhortation: it insists life is meaningful, urges active, noble living, and affirms the soul/enduring purpose beyond the grave (e.g., “Life is real! Life is earnest!... The grave is not its goal”). By contrast, "Auspex" takes a more melancholic, skeptical view of feeling and love — it suggests that time erodes or destroys the heart’s passions rather than preserving them. The other choices misread "Psalm" (it does not depict the soul as weak or reduce life to pain) or misattribute eternal love to "Auspex."
