I'm not familiar with what context this is in, but i believe it is D because it's saying you will "bargain" with the calendar, meaning negotiate to try and get some more time

The correct answer is:

D. You will hope and strive to live a bit longer.

The meaning of the phrase "To bargain with the calendar" is you will hope and strive to live a bit longer. Calendar represents time or the passing of time. Towards the end of life, people tend to regret the time they have wasted and the things they have left undone; thus, this expression is both a prediction and a warning.

This is writing that communicates specific information about a particular subject, craft, or occupation.
lapo4ka [179]

There are four different types of writing: expository, persuasive, descriptive and narrative.  While one could say that descriptive could describe a particular subject, craft, or occupation, descriptive writing is more for describing a character, event, or special place.  Persuasive is trying to persuade your audience to think one way, and narrative is used to tell a story.  Expository writing is used to communicate specific information about a particular subject, craft, or occupation.
