B. A television show starts a new season
Answer:
In the 1890s, riding a bicycle in traditional clothing could be hazardous to a woman's health.
This combination of a shortened dress and flowing trousers became known as the Bloomer costume.
<em>"Taken together, these floor-length petticoats and the dress that covered them could weigh 25 pounds—even more when the unfortunate woman got caught in a rainstorm. Plus they were unsanitary. During a casual stroll, an unsuspecting fashion plate could pick up cigar ends, cigarette butts, discarded food, tiny insects, and animal droppings as her clothing swept the ground."</em>
In this excerpt from Wheels of change we can see that the clothing in the times for women were dangerous and started to change because it was easier for them to dress different so they could ride a bike.

Answer: D. because he feels the exam was painfully tough
Explanation:
Verbal irony: a figure of speech when somebody means something other than what they said/they reality.
Paul says that the exam was as pleasant as a root canal, and root canals are not pleasant at all. This tells us that Paul did not find the exam nice, rather, he found it painful, hence he meant the opposite of what he actually said.
