Answer 1

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

'The Cherry Orchard' is the last plaay written by Anton Chekov.

The statement that most closely resembles an epigram is in option A.

An epigram can be defined as a short insightful statement that conveys an idea in witty manner, or paradoxical manner.

In the statement, "I can’t approve of our climate. [Sighs] I can’t. Our climate is indisposed to favour us even this once" Epikhodov in witty and paradoxical way is commenting upon the cold winter by stating that our climate is indisposed (unwilling) to favour use even this once.

Therefore, option A is correct.
