When you think about Thanksgiving cooking, typically you think of a rush to get everything done and to put all of the food onto the table so that everyone can eat. There is a tone of rushing and impatience being conveyed. Therefore, I would say that 4 is the most suitable answer. General Barker is clearly in a hurry and is under some stress. I hope this helps.

4)General Barker was in a hurry to get everything ready for the experiment.

The connotative meaning the secondary meaning of a sentence or word. In the original sentence, General Barker is not actually making Thanksgiving dinner for twenty people. However, he is undertaking a task just as difficult. Traditionally a Thanksgiving dinner has many dishes and requires a lot of time, preparation, and elements. This comparison is meant to show how General Barker's experiment has a lot of different elements and things that need to be ready at precisely the right time, so he is hurrying about to make sure everything is ready.

Leviafan [203]

The English language is typically divided into three historical periods (option "C"):

The Old English or Anglo Saxon which was brought to Britain due to the Anglo-Saxon invasions, was spoken in England and Scotland between 450-1100 AD (early Middle Ages).

The Middle English, which developed after the Norman conquest in 1066, was influenced by the French. It started replacing the Old English; however, the Middle English was considered the language of the upper classes.

The Modern English was spoken since the beginning of the Tudors (15th century) and spread through the British Empire colonies during the 18th century.
