Answer:

B. Both essays have a satirical tone.

D. Both essays have a conversational tone.

The story "The Danger of Lying in Bed" describes the conversation between two men. One of them argues that he would only buy travel insurance when he knows he will spend all day in bed. This is because he is convinced he is a lot more likely to die while being in bed than while travelling. On the other hand, "The Fallacy of Success" describes how books that promise immediate success are fallacious and deceptive. Both texts have a satirical and conversational tone.
