Answer:
D. The boy with the missing teeth entered his insect maze experiment in the science fair
"During the shop’s peak hours – from eight in the evening till around midnight – one could hardly hear oneself talk because of the boisterous chatters that went on."
Historical context can tell us important information about D. The author's purpose.
I would do this by using context clues.
Example: This stupendous car is faster than anyone else's car!
If it is faster than anyone else's car than you can infer that stupendous means really good cause of the way it is used.
Something along the lines of seeing the jews treated as pigs on a farm if I remember correctly, I believe it is a reference to George Orwell's "Animal Farm".
It may be slightly off my memory is a bit foggy, but it's definitely the right concept I'm sure.
