Answer:
1. c.
2. d.
Explanation:
1. The excerpt is overwhelmingly dreary as everything is described in tones of grey and as a derivative of ashes. The only touch of color mentioned in the passage are the eyes of the doctor.
The mood is very depressing as even the smallest tasks are describes as arduous labors. Words that contribute to the bleak and dreary landscape are: ash-grey, desolate, grotesque, crumbling, ghastly, leaden, impenetrable cloud, obscure, and bleak.
2. The train stopping at the drawbridge is almost like an unwanted interruption in the lives of the rich and famous who live in the lap of luxury and have enough money to travel in the fastest and most expensive transportation at the time.
The stop in the Valley of Ashes is described almost sarcastically as if the passengers in the train would have desired to take in the bleak and somber landscape of the dark and filthy valley laden with ash and industry.

Answer:
B
Explanation:
I would B because it's the only thing that makes sense. One would hope that debacle would be down (and in 2020, it was up) as well as discontent, and rhetoric doesn't make sense in this sentence.
Look at the surrounding context.
For example
Jeremy was so ecstatic that he had made friends, that he began jumping up and down.
To figure out the meaning of ecstatic, you would think about the clues: 'made friends' and 'jumping up and down'. These both lead you to the idea of being very happy or excited. The actual definition is feeling or expressing overwhelming happiness or joyful excitement...
I think it is the first and the last one.
