I would say that the example of satire among these options is d. Those two old brothers had been having a pretty hot argument a couple of days before, and had ended by agreeing to decide it by a bet, which is the English way of settling everything.
Twain is criticizing and mocking the English for settling everything in such a trivial manner as betting.

Answer: d. Those two old brothers had been having a pretty hot argument a couple of days before, and had ended by agreeing to decide it by a bet, which is the English way of settling everything.

Answer: The house was unusually dark for early evening.

Explanation: You see, The house will be unusually dark for early evening is future tense and they're not describing the future.  The house has been unusually dark for early evening. That's present tense which the story isn't in (example: . My brother and I<u> </u><u>pulled</u> into the driveway. That's past tense thus meaning the story is past tense.) The house was being unusually dark for early evening. This is future tense like the story.

I hope this helps!!
