Answer:
Hibernation
Explanation:
Some animals need to lower their heart rate and metabolism and do bunch of other stuff to conserve energy during the winters due to bad weather or lack of food. They hibernate (like a loooooooong sleep). I have attached an image of example of animals that do this,
<em>L</em><em>e</em><em>t</em><em> </em><em>your</em><em> </em><em>eye</em><em> </em><em>be</em><em> </em><em>kept</em><em> </em><em>on</em><em> </em><em>my</em><em> </em><em>child</em><em>.</em><em>.</em><em>.</em><em>.</em><em>.</em><em>.</em>
The correct answer is the last one: "This passage is ironic because Aunt Julie hopes Hedda's child will bring new life to the Tesman house, but does not know that Hedda's suicide will soon make it a house of death."
In this play by Henrik Ibsen, Miss Tessman saw Hedda as the figure that would continue the family lineage - even talking about "the house of life" - but actually, by committing suicide she is responsible for ending the lineage.
This kind of literary irony is called situational irony, when there is incongruence between expectations of something to happen and what actually happens in the end.
