Answer:

D. desire to surprise his friend and his friend’s failure to recognize him

Explanation:

Answer D

Correct. In these sentences, the author presents a humorous reversal that emerges from the ironic incongruity between the traveler’s plan to “overpower” his old friend with an excess of pleasure and the anticlimactic outcome of the surprise visit. As it turns out, the friend experiences no immediate pleasure from the visit because he fails to recognize the traveler and can only be made to remember him after the traveler gives a “gradual (in this context, methodical) explanation” of who he is.

As the Sun ages, what will happen to life here on Earth? Why?
valentina_108 [34]
<span>Our Sun will slowly get hotter as more and more Helium accumulates in the Sun's core. In ~1 billion years, liquid water will no longer be possible on Earth's surface, and the oceans will completely boil away, resulting in a Venus-like planet. Only thermophyllic bacteria may be able to survive, perhaps at the poles. In ~4-5billion years, our Sun will have converted ~10% of its Hydrogen to Helium, and thus become so hot that Helium to Carbon fusion will begin in earnest, causing the "Helium flash" which will convert our Sun into a red giant, and swallow and vaporize all of the rocky inner planets. It may even blow off a planetary nebula. (Contrary to what the others have said, our Sun will not 'run out' of Hydrogen.) </span>
