Question 1:
Humorous passage 1: "It (the umbrella) was made to be carried on the arm like an enormous ornamental bat and to allow one the opportunity to put on British airs as the atmospheric conditions demanded."
Humorous passage 2: "(The umbrella is) An item to be carried in the street, to be used to startle friends and—in the worst of cases—to fend off one’s creditors."
Question 2:
Passage 1 is funny because it compares the umbrella to an ornamental bat, which sounds weird in the first place. Plus, the umbrellas is said to be used by people who want to seem British, which is even more outrageously funny.
Passage 2 is funny because it treats the umbrella as a scary object which can be used even to fend off people you owe money to, which is absurd.
In both passages, the author uses tone and voice in a very witty way: he speaks seriously about absurdity, about unimaginable stuff. It is like an encyclopedia of weird and fun facts. That is what makes it funny: the contrast between a serious tone and larger than life images.

The above question wants to analyze your reading and writing skills. For that reason, I cannot write your essay, but I will show you how to write it.
First, you should search for the two authors indicated in your question. For this research, you can look for articles that analyze the literary production of the two, in addition to reading some poems by both, to decide who has a more realistic view of the life of the composer.
As you may already know, country life is rewarding, but full of challenges and this should be taken into account during your research.
After this research, you should write your essay as follows:
- Introduction: Introduce the subject of your essay and show which of the two authors you think has a more realistic view of country life. This will be your thesis statement.
- Body: Write at least two paragraphs. In the first paragraph, justify your thesis statement, showing information that proves that your opinion is true. In the second paragraph compare the country view of the author you have chosen with the view of the other author, showing the differences between the two.
- Conclusion: Summarize all the information you have presented, reinforce your thesis statement and show your final thoughts on this subject.
