Explanation:

For question 6, in "The Importance of Being Earnest", at the end of Act II, Jack and Algernon fight over muffins.
For question 7, in the context of the sentence, "epidemic" is used metaphorically. The sentence is about the aristocracy suffering from agricultural depression. "Similar emotions or conduct in others" fits as it implies a widespread similar situation (like an epidemic in a non - medical sense) among the aristocracy.

Answer:

1. C. Muffins
2. B. Similar emotions or conduct in others
