What be the most likely response if an adult older than the age of 60 were asked how he would spend the remaining months of his life?

The most likely response that we may hear from a 60 years old person is related to happiness.

Explanation:

Happiness is state that is constantly pursuited, but sometimes it cannot be achieved. A 60 years old person has definitely gone through a lot of situations, either good or bad, therefore, and after raising awareness on what could be the last years, a person determines that he/she wishes to be calmed, to have that state of happiness more latent than before.

answer:

a. "there, said he, there is something for you."

explanation:

"said he" should not have been part of what is in the dialogue.

i dont know if your mis-read or whatever but that says 30 points also. its not so very surprising knowing that the words he spoke was english, the aspect of his "language" i'd say is pretty rare and is very unique to pronounce.
