This is true because, the previous play never touched on the theme of the importance of being true to oneself. From the dialogue above, it could be seen that, the wife, Linda is trying to understand why the husband left them to die.
To her, the husband disappointed her greatly by not quitting the job when it starting taking a toll on him. The whole theme centered on the importance of being true to oneself rather than taking the easy route to quit life due to difficulties experienced.

From the excerpt we can see that it was Xavier who was speaking most of the time, while Kenneth was simply relaxed and he didn’t interact much.
It was only at the end of the conversation when Kenneth gives an idea to Xavier that apart from farming, one thing which he can do is to sell it.
Kenneth in a way is trying to assure Xavier that he don’t need to farm if he don’t feel like, just sell the farm and his problem will be solved.
B. He is trying to convince Xavier to sell the farm.
Explanation:
In the given excerpt, Xavier expresses his concerns to Kenneth about the fact his grandma left him a farm. Unlike her, who wanted to be a farmer, he doesn't. His life goals are completely different and inheriting a farm only prevents him from easily fulfilling them. Kenneth understands this and offers a solution - to sell the farm. By selling it, Xavier would no longer be bound to it and could even use the money to go to college. This would solve his problem.
A metaphor would compare them, a simile would use the words like or as, and a hyperbole would exaggerate something, but the verbal irony intends to be understood as meaning something that contrasts with the literal or usual meaning of something which in this case is the front stoop.
The statement from the essay that can be characterized as a logical fallacy, in which a baseless judgment is substituted for a proper argument, is option A: "Let’s just face it. People who hate reality shows are really just old, humorless sourpusses."
This statement uses ad hominem, a type of logical fallacy, which involves attacking the character or personality of someone instead of addressing the substance of their argument. It unjustly generalizes and discriminates against people who dislike reality shows by labeling them as "old" and "humorless sourpusses" without providing any valid evidence or reasoning to support this claim. This statement does not provide a proper argument to support the author's viewpoint and instead relies on unfair stereotypes about those who hold a different opinion.
