Anna asked her mother if she could drive the car to the store herself. Anna's mom said, "Sure, ten-year-olds drive themselves to the store all the time!" What kind of irony is used in this story?

Answers

Answer 1
Verbal Irony

Verbal Irony occurs when a speaker's intention is the opposite of what he or she is saying.

Anna’s mom said that ten year-olds drive thenselves to the store all the time. When in reality, we all know this is false. Young children cannot drive themselves anywhere.

Hope this helps!

Read the passage and choose the best answer.

"Abhorred monster! fiend that thou art! the tortures of hell are too mild a vengeance for thy crimes. Wretched devil! you reproach me with your creation; come on, then, that I may extinguish the spark which I so negligently bestowed." My rage was without bounds; I sprang on him, impelled by all the feelings which can arm one being against the existence of another.

He easily eluded me, and said—

"Be calm! I entreat you to hear me, before you give vent to your hatred on my devoted head. Have I not suffered enough that you seek to increase my misery? Life, although it may only be an accumulation of anguish, is dear to me, and I will defend it. Remember, thou hast made me more powerful than thyself; my height is superior to thine; my joints more supple. But I will not be tempted to set myself in opposition to thee. I am thy creature, and I will be even mild and docile to my natural lord and king, if thou wilt also perform thy part, the which thou owest me. Oh, Frankenstein, be not equitable to every other, and trample upon me alone, to whom thy justice, and even thy clemency and affection, is most due. Remember, that I am thy creature; I ought to be thy Adam; but I am rather the fallen angel, whom thou drivest from joy for no misdeed. Everywhere I see bliss, from which I alone am irrevocably excluded. I was benevolent and good; misery made me a fiend. Make me happy, and I shall again be virtuous."

Explanation:

the stranger came early in February, one wintry day, through a biting wind and a driving snow, the last snowfall of the year, over the down, walking as it seemed from Bramble Hurst railway station, and carrying a little black portmanteau in his thickly gloved hand. Which adjective best describes the setting that the words in this sentence help to evoke?


a) cozy


b) dreamlike


c) dull


d) harsh


(Explain why this is the answer)

Answers

Answer:

d) harsh

Explanation:

the answer is harsh because in the text it used the following words: "biting wind" and "driving snow". Those words indicate a harsh snow breeze and setting.

hopefully this is good enough! :)

Answer:

d)harsh

Explanation:

the diction "biting wind" has negative connotations that the conditions are absurdly cold to the point of the wind being personified as being able to bite. the diction "seemed" references that fact that the conditions are harsh enough to mask the landmark the man walks from and lastly the diction " thickly gloved hand" also emphasises the harshness of the conditions as it refers to the thickness of the mans gloves as a way to express the amount of layer needed to protect the man and his hands
