Interesting examples. I had to read some several times to find a problem
1. On a cloudy night, the craters of the moon would not be seen. So that is a bad simile.
2. "enervated" is the wrong word choice. It means "weakened".
3. In a followup to a job interview, this would be a terrible thing to write. It is pompous and pretentious. I especially do not like the use of the work "opt" instead of "choose".
4. "whether" should be "if". "Whether" is usually presented with an option, such as "or not".
