Insidious means evil or bad, essentially. The sentence is saying gambling is a bad habit.
The correct answer to this question is letter "c. readers would think of funeral bells ringing in honor of the men killed." They take a serpentine course, their arms flash in the sun hark to the musical clank whitman, from "cavalry crossing a ford." the poem would change if "musical clank" was changed to "loud clang" by the <span>readers and think of funeral bells ringing in honor of the men killed.</span>
I would think that setting the scene of someone dying is appropriate to be in a bedroom where a sick person would most likely be (if not in a hospital) such as someone in palliative care for example and the bedroom stillness is commented on broken only by a fly and whose buzz perhaps accentuated the otherwise stillness. If the person's death was outside or in a public place it would more likely be the result of a, say an accident, or say an assassination such as that of Martin Luther King so since it is inside in a bedroom it indicates the dying is just a normal death from illness and/or old age.
