This question is too difficult
Answer:
1. Though with The Ambitious Guest yapping about his desire to achieve his destiny and ultimately build a monument to himself, the family loses sight of the simple blessings they have already achieved. In the end, which comes like a thief in the night, the mountain produces another rock slide, and they are all
2."The Ambitious Guest" is a short story illustrative of the power of one day's time; it is also illustrative of Hawthorne's search for the truth of the human heart. 1. A stranger happens upon the...
3.I shall have built my monument!" The irony is increased by the fact that the young guest's expression of his intense ambition causes members of the family to confess that they too have ambitions. Even the grandmother tells the family that she is ambitious to have a good funeral and to look well in her coffin.
4.A really great example of situational irony can be seen with the father of the family. The father of the family loves his family very much. They are described as a close and warm family. They would follow him anywhere he wished to go. He even expresses desire to live in a small town as a lawyer. The irony is that despite all this love he has for his family, he never thinks of moving them away from this hazardous region. He is well aware of the landslides, they even have a contingency barrier built. He could've avoided the impending disaster if he had just followed his dreams.

Answer:
The correct option is b: He uses imagery-based descriptions of the flowers that sprung up untended, and the New Yorkers’ reaction to them, creating a reflective tone
Explanation:
The correct option is b: He uses imagery-based descriptions of the flowers that sprung up untended, and the New Yorkers’ reaction to them, creating a reflective tone because the author is narrating literally how the New York’s park High Line started; to obtain and maintain the lector’s attention he links all the kind of flowers and plants that sprung up to the people's reaction to help him to imagine the scene, putting him, at the same time, as the level of the New Yorkers’ who lived that moment. We can see this narration mechanism in the second line, where all the flowers’ names are told: <em>“Wild crocuses, irises, evening primrose, asters, and Queen Anne’s lace”.</em>
<u>The first option, A. He uses metaphor to describe how an abandoned part of New York came to life</u>, is not operable because the author is not using any metaphor; in fact he is narrating an event that really happened; <u>C option: He uses simple language to describe the transformation of an abandoned rail yard to an oasis, creating an instructional tone</u> is not the correct one because he is not using simplistic language and we can see it, for example, in the mastery of writing that he has at the moment of linking the flowers’ species with the facts that happened; finally<u> D option: He uses fact-based descriptions of the abandoned New York railroad taken over by a variety of weed, creating a detached tone</u> isn't the correct one because the author is not incorporating facts like dates, people’s name or, who took the decision to make it a park, so it is hard to say that he used fact-based descriptions.
