<h2>B) Ironic</h2><h2 /><h2>Explanation:</h2><h2 />

Dr. Heidegger's Experiment is a brief story by American author Nathaniel Hawthorne, about a doctor who pretends to have been sent water from the Fountain of Youth.Dr. Heidegger's Experiment is rooted in a fairly realistic view of human nature. The story contends that people are, for the most part, fools. They don't learn from their errors, they're usually petty, and we can't require anyone to change for the better.

In the sentence from Hawthorne's story "Dr. Heidegger's Experiment", the narrator's tone is one of irony or (ironic). Its because the narrator states how the reader can't be certain which era of politics the character is discussing, because ironically the same terms and ideas have been in use over the past 50 years.

Read the following excerpt from "I Sell a Dog" by Mark Twain:
melomori [17]

I think that the correct option is C: the role of the idiom in this sentence is to explain that bad habits are creating a bad financial situation.

An idiom may be defined as a figure of speech established by usage that has a meaning not necessarily deductible from those of the individual words. Idioms are not always meant to be taken literally.

In this case, the idiom is explaining the cause of financial situation.

Digiron [165]

Answer:

In lines 10–11 the speaker is referring to the importance of interpreting what is being read. On lines 20–21, the speaker shows that reading interpretation promotes knowledge and that knowledge is often a handicap for the soul.

Explanation:

In lines 10–11 the speaker is referring to the need that people have to interpret and understand what is being read, this is because if a person just reads, he is stuck with earthly life, he is limited to an environment, contained. However, the interpretation of reading makes the individual see beyond words and let go of this limitation.

However, once the reading has been interpreted, the individual gains knowledge, becomes detached from ignorance and is able to see things he did not see before. The problem is that this is often a disadvantage, showing that ignorance was a paradise, which was lost with the arrival of knowledge. This can be seen on lines 20–21.
