Question

Which two sentences best summarize this excerpt from Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story "Dr. Heidegger's Experiment?

Answer 1

Answer:

There are two answers to this question.

Explanation:

Nathaniel Hawthorne was an American writer who explored short stories and novels. Dr. Heidegger's Experiment is a short story by him, and it is about a man (the doctor) who claims he has water from The Fountain of Youth. These are the correct answers:

First one is "Are we grown old again, so soon?" cried they, dolefully. Here, people who had tried the water realized that the effect was not permanent.

Number two is Well, I bemoan it not; for if the fountain gushed at my very doorstep, I would not stoop to bathe my lips in it; no, though its delirium were for years instead of moments. In this one, Dr. Heidegger realizes that the effect was not real (not on him nor on the other people who tried the water) but only and illusion.

Answer 2

Answer:

I only have one answer because I searched it up. It's, 1) "Are we grown old again, so soon?" cried they, dolefully.
