Respuesta :

So for the first question it's B life is short; laugh and be merry. For the second part I think its B what's happening in the story. Hope this helps! God bless :)
I believe the first answer is D, take pride in being a human being BECAUSE that's what being human is all about, you have to do the nitty gritty before you can rest. :) And for the second answer would be B, for it is explaining something. Good luck!
