Brief Explanations
A "knell" is the sound of a bell rung to mark a death, which is strongly associated with grief and sadness. In When We Two Parted, this line reinforces the speaker's sorrow over the end of a relationship, aligning with a mournful tone. The other options do not fit: "courteous" refers to politeness, "pleading" is an urgent request, and "quiet" describes low volume, none of which match the connotation of a knell.
