An allegory is a story that uses characters and settings as symbols that carry a deeper meaning beyond the obvious meaning of th

e story. Which excerpt from Nathaniel Hawthorne’s "Dr. Heidegger's Experiment" best reveals the allegorical nature of this short story? A strange chillness, whether of the body or spirit they could not tell, was creeping gradually over them all. They gazed at one another, and fancied that each fleeting moment snatched away a charm. But the doctor's four friends had taught no such lesson to themselves. They resolved forthwith to make a pilgrimage to Florida, and quaff at morning, noon, and night, from the Fountain of Youth. Then all shouted mirthfully, and leaped about the room. The Widow Wycherly—if so fresh a damsel could be called a widow—tripped up to the doctor's chair, with a mischievous merriment in her rosy face. With a shuddering impulse, that showed her a woman still, the widow clasped her skinny hands before her face, and wished that the coffin-lid were over it, since it could be no longer beautiful.

I would say the correct answer is - <span>But the doctor's four friends had taught no such lesson to themselves. They resolved forthwith to make a pilgrimage to Florida, and quaff at morning, noon, and night, from the Fountain of Youth.
As you already said, allegory is something that tells us a deeper and more important story than what may seem on the surface. So these four people don't just want to go on a pilgrimage and find the Fountain of Youth on a whim - there must be something important behind their decision.

USPshnik [31]
<span>It is really a lot of fun. 

This sentence is not necessary in the paragraph because it does not add any helpful information about how to forage, what to look for, or other things you could get out of the experience. It just adds the detail that it's fun, which is subjective and maybe not true for everyone. </span>
