Answer: C. It just thrills me that we have so much waste in landfills.

In this sentence, the author uses a sarcastic remark. Sarcasm refers to a sharp expression that usually shows an ambivalence similar to irony. Sarcasm is usually an ironic remark in which the speaker does not mean what he says. It is usually intended to mock or express contempt. In this case, the speaker is saying he is thrilled to have so much waste in landfills. This is likely to be false. Moreover, it is intended to criticize the problem of waste in our society.

Slav-nsk [51]
The “winter dreams” of the story refer to the American Dream that Dexter<span> comes to embody, but success brings a high cost, and social mobility restricts Dexter’s capacity for happiness. Dexter is from humble origins: his mother was an immigrant who constantly struggled with the language of her adopted homeland. The central irony of the story is that realizing the American Dream yields bleak rewards. For example, when Dexter was a young caddy, he dreamed about success and wealth and the happiness they would bring. When he finally beats T. A. Hedrick in a golf tournament, however, the triumph brings him little joy. Dexter is able to transcend middle-class inertia but, despite his tireless efforts to advance his fortunes, forced to accept that money cannot buy happiness.</span>

Please help me understand what the question is asking below. "How are the characters, setting, and problems like those in other
Westkost [7]

Answer:

the characters are just the people in the story. The setting is where it happens, so if it mainly happens in a school, that would be the setting. The problems could be like  two of the characters hating each other or someone's mom sick in the hospital, stuff like that. problems like these usually get solved at the end of the story but they might not, like a cliffhanger.

Then "How are they like other stories you've read?" You can just take any other stories you know and look for things that are the same in both of them. Like if there's a character who's really shy in the story you read for class and the story you read on your own, then you would say " In this story, a character named Mia is really shy. In a story I read on my own, Social Caterpillar, Nicky is really shy and quiet."(Just a fake example) You would do the same thing for the setting and problems.
