Answer

The answer is: "After all, he looked like him seemed to know his whole story convinced others he was Parnell."

Explanation
Option 1: "After all, he looked like him seemed to know his whole story convinced others he was Parnell."

This option directly addresses the theme of being obsessed with appearances. The character's resemblance to Parnell and his knowledge of Parnell's story are used to convince others of his identity, highlighting how appearances can be persuasive and lead to belief or obsession.

Option 2: "My dear," I said, "that is not true. Mr. Parnell is dead. You are-"

This statement is more about the speaker's skepticism and does not directly support the theme of obsession with appearances. It reflects doubt rather than an obsession with how things appear.

Option 3: "I am Parnell!" he said. "I am Parnell!" Impatiently. "I have told you so, and others have told you so. Why do you not believe me?"

While this option shows the character's insistence on his identity, it does not specifically highlight the theme of obsession with appearances. It focuses more on the character's conviction rather than the influence of appearances on others.
