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.

PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM\\c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2}\\ b^{2}=c^{2} -a^{2}\\ a^{2} =b^{2}-c^{2}

1) x=9, because we can use the Pythagorean theorem, x^2 + 144 = 225, x^2 = 81

2) x=3\sqrt{8}, because 6^2 +6^2 = 72, \sqrt{72} = 3\sqrt{8}

3) x=2\sqrt{3}, because x^{2} +7=19\\x^{2} =12\\x= 2\sqrt{3}

hope this helps... load for images!
