Answer:

I think it is D

Explanation: I was researching the piece and its meaning. It includes humor and describes the generation gap between a veteran/ an experienced person and his supercilious, arrogant, pompous and haughty son. If you read the 3rd line it states, "Yet you balanced an eel on the end of your nose" it uses a humorous tone.

The subject of the excerpt "You are Old, Father William" by Lewis Carroll is the age difference. Therefore, option C is correct.

The subject of an excerpt refers to the main topic or idea that is being discussed or presented in the text. It is the central theme or focus of the excerpt, and it is what the author is attempting to communicate to the reader.

The subject of an excerpt can be explicit or implicit, depending on how the author presents it. In some cases, the subject may be clearly stated in the text, while in others, the reader may need to infer the subject based on the context and the author's tone and language.

Thus, the subject of the excerpt is the age difference. Therefore, option C is correct.

Paul was getting tired. This was the fourth car lot he had visited
today. So far, every dealer had tried to sell him a car by telling
him he couldn't get a better deal from anyone else. Now he was
listening to the fourth salesperson:
"Paul, you should not let this offer go. This is the best deal
around. You could own this sporty new model and stay within
your budget. For the price, I think the car has the best
combination of comfort and speed. The car also gets great gas
mileage and is loaded with extras. It has air, power windows
and leather seats, Best of all, the car is the sharpest of any of
the new models.
"Now, Paul, you can take this car tonight if you write me a check
for the down payment and leave your old car in trade. I would
like to offer you a special car loan that stretches over a seven-
year period. I have never offered a seven-year car loan, but I
know that you really want the car. To be honest, none of the
other car dealers can offer a seven-year loan."

Major Arthur Godfrey Peuchen, starting to undress for the night, thought it was like a heavy wave striking the ship. Mrs J. Stuart White was sitting on the edge of her bed, just reaching to turn out the light, when the ship seemed to roll over ‘a thousand marbles’. To Lady Cosmo Duff Gordon, waking up from the jolt, it seemed ‘as though somebody had drawn a giant finger along the side of the ship’. Mrs John Jacob Astor thought it was some mishap in the kitchen.
It seemed stronger to some than to others. Mrs Albert Caldwell pictured a large dog that had a baby kitten in its mouth and was shaking it. Mrs Walter B. Stephenson recalled the first ominous jolt when she was in the San Francisco earthquake – then decided this wasn’t that bad. Mrs E. D. Appleton felt hardly any shock at all, but she noticed an unpleasant ripping sound … like someone tearing a long, long strip of calico.
The jar meant more to J. Bruce Ismay, managing director of the White Star Line, who, in a festive mood, was going along for a ride on the Titanic’s first trip. Ismay woke up with a start in his de luxe suite on B deck – he felt sure the ship had struck something, but he didn’t know what.
