Answer:
O, love's best habit is in seeming trust / And age in love loves not to have years told.
Explanation:
William Shakespeare's "Sonnet 138" deals with the issues of love relationship and his insecurities about growing old and how that will be an aspect of the relationship. The short sonnet delves into the short 'affair' of the poet with his "dark lady", which reassures his 'validity' of being capable of love and to be loved in return.
A double entendre is when the poet uses words that have a double meaning. This is evident in the lines <em>"O, love's best habit is in seeming trust / And age in love loves not to have years told."</em> In these two lines, the poet describes how he thinks love is like a disguise to hide secrets, the pretense of truth. And older lovers, like himself, don't like it when their old age is pointed out.
Thus, the correct answer is the last/ fourth option.

Explanation:
Yevgeny Petrovitch was a court prosecutor and single father of the seven-year old boy, Seryozgha in the book 'Home' by Anton Chekhov.
Yevgeny's house keeper (or Governess) had just informed him that she caught his son Seryozgha, smoking! She wanted Yevgeny to address the issue before it got out of hand.
In an attempt to solving the problem, Yevgeny expressed his anger and displeasure at what the young boy had done and threatened to disown him as his son. He did this reasoning that his son would grasp the enormity of what he had done.
The three reasons for which Yevgeny was angry with Seryozgha are:
1) that Seryozgha actually smoked at a young age.
2) That Seryozgha lied about the number of times he had smoked.
3) That Seryozgha stole by taking tobacco that belonged to Yevgeny from his table
