B. Me , direct object.
Jeremy bought Patrick and me tokens for the games.
Me vs I.
Assuming that Patrick is not part of the sentence.
Jeremy bought me tokens for the games. THIS IS THE CORRECT ONE.
Jeremy bought I tokens for the games.
Me is used as a direct object because a direct object receives the action performed by the subject.
subject = Jeremy ; verb = bought ; direct object = Patrick and me.
A hyperbole is either a word or a sentence in a text that shows an overstatement (an exaggeration), it does not have to be literal; it is just a way to express your ideas in order to generate a contrast or to get the reader's attention.
In the excerpt the hyperboles (exaggerations) are:
- <u><em>Your name--think of it! Man,</em></u><u><em> they'll flock in droves</em></u><u><em>, these rich Londoners; they'll fight for that stock! </em></u>
When the writer says <em>"they'll flock in droves", </em>he refers to a very big amount of people together.
- <em><u>In less than twenty-four hours London was </u></em><em><u>abuzz</u></em><em><u>!</u></em>
When the writer uses the word <em>"abuzz", </em>it does not mean the city was on fire; it means the city was lively busy.

C. People often get laughed at for speaking up about deep ideas
Explanation:
According to the given excerpt from Endgame by Samuel Beckett, there is a conversation between Hamm and Clov where Hamm asks if they're not beginning to mean something, to which Clov scoffs and laughs at such suggestion. And with the introduction of a rational being, Clov drops his telescope and begins to ponder.
The theme the passage mostly clearly develops is that people often get laughed at for speaking up about deep ideas
