Answer: d.
Explanation: In this excerpt from the introductory note of "The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin", a key detail about Franklin's employment in the excerpt is <u><em>Benjamin Franklin worked at the "New England Courant." </em></u>This was one of the first American newspapers. It was founded by James Franklin, Benjamin's brother. Benjamin did many jobs there. He also wrote articles. The newspaper was a success.
If this is an excerpt from a story, I wouldn’t be of much help. But from a layman's perspective, it seems like the character is attempting to please the failed humorist or he or she would have been frank. This in turn may have triggered a chain reaction, prompting the humorist to continue with his jokes which would have further affected the character. He or she is also giving the former a false sense of happiness and appreciation.
This passage may not affect the whole story in a remarkably discernible manner, but it definitely proves the character's penchant for politeness. And that may be be a deciding factor in his or her further decisions that ultimately define the plot of the story.
B. Common, everyday language Is your answer
The stranger is more aggressive and actually enters Elisa's garden, while Henry seems to respect her personal space.
The two men in the story are quite opposite, and this helps us identify the things that Elisa appreciates and the things she does not. When Elisa is working in the garden, her husband comes to talk to her. He respects her personal space and remains outside. However, to Elisa this is a sign of indifference towards her work and her passion. On the other hand, when the stranger meets her, he leans over and enters the garden, with a behaviour that is more aggressive than that of her husband.
