B.

C.
Mr. Gascoigne became delirious and couldn’t help talking incessantly to everyone.
D.
Mr. Gascoigne was feeling nostalgic and wanted to show off his knowledge of politics.
E.
Mr. Gascoigne had delusions about his understanding of national politics and people’s rights.

Answer 1

Without access to the specific excerpt from "Dr. Heidegger's Experiment," I can't provide a definitive answer. However, based on general knowledge of Mr. Gascoigne's character in the story, the best description would likely be:

E. Mr. Gascoigne had delusions about his understanding of national politics and people’s rights.

This aligns with his characterization as a man who reminisces about his past political influence and seems detached from reality regarding his former status and relevance. If you can provide the excerpt, I can give a more tailored response.
