Although you seem not to have given the second excerpt, "Take the tortillas out of your poetry" seems like an anecdote, so I would say the answer is A.
The irony about the mother’s wishes D) The church will prove just as dangerous as the protest. Thus, option "D" is correct.
<h3>What is ironic about the mother’s wishes?</h3>
Irony is a statement or a situation which seems contradictory or different to what the audience is expecting. In the given stanzas from the poem “Ballad of Birmingham” by Dudley Randall we can see an example of irony in the mother wishes, because she doesn't want her child to go to the protest, because she thinks it will be dangerous, instead, she says he can go to the church, but the church will be just as dangerous as the protest.
Thus, option "D" is correct.

It stands for the origin of the word and its history
Answer: Hall knew that growing outrage among the American public would help Britain's cause.
Explanation: According the the excerpt, it says that "Hall reminded them", thus saying that Hall was not in favor of waiting before presenting the telegram.
Hall didn't want to wait until American outrage simmered down before revealing the contents of the telegram. No where in the excerpt does it hint this.
Hall wasn't worried that the Americans would lose interest in the contents of the telegram. The telegram contained information that would alert the Americans of a possible attack from Mexico.
Hall did disagree with the waiting, but the excerpt is hinting that Hall wanted to use the telegram to gain supporters for Britain against the Germans.
Cheers
(If I'm wrong, then the answer is that Hall disagreed with the British government's choice to wait before showing the telegraph to Wilson)
