Answer: B. It causes the reader to think about how doing nothing should be easy, but in fact can be quite hard.

A paradox is a contradictory statement that nevertheless contains an element of truth. It is a dramatic figure of speech that is often used when describing absurd situations. In this case, the paradox is the fact that Algernon believes doing nothing to be hard, contrary to most people's assumptions. He goes even further by saying that work that is pointless is still preferable to doing nothing.

I am not 100% sure, although I feel the best answer to this question is A. The poet is saying that people don't live long; life is short.
This is because he talks about someone remaining, or living on. You can infer from this that the poet believes that life feels short and brief. The poet doesn't mention beauty in this line, nor foes he express changes in his generation. However, D is still a possible answer, but he doesn't focus as much on himself and his unwant to grow old. I hope that this can help you out! :D

I think the cane represents C. HIS SELF-CONSCIOUS DISPLAYS OF AUTHORITY.

Notice that when people using canes are in public, people around them make it a point to make sure that they get out of the way to ensure that the person using a cane will not be hindered. People are more quick to react or help if they find that the person in need is using a cane or is in a wheelchair. 

Majority of people using canes are those who are elderly, thus gaining immediate respect and subservience from others.
