What type of irony is present? When this movie opens, we see a town and the setting appears to be early-Colonial America (i.e. the Puritans). The town is attacked regularly by creepy rat-like monsters in red cloaks. One of the members of the town falls very ill, and they need to send someone to another town for medical supplies. They choose to send a blind girl in the town, who leaves on her journey, having to run from the monsters. When she reaches the main road, a truck picks her up and we realize that the setting is not early-American but present day!

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Situational Irony.

Explanation:

The situational irony is a literary device that is defines the occuring of a situation opposite to what was expected. The situational irony forms a twist by taking a turn in the expectations of a situation to happen. The audience or the readers may expect something else to happen than what occured.

In the given statement, the irony that is present is 'situational irony.' The sentence exemplifies situational irony as we can see a twist in the end when everyone was expecting the situation is taking place in an early-Colonial America, it was happening in the present day.

So, the correct answer is the situational irony.

Read the excerpts from Team Moon and the NASA article.


But now, because the landing was taking far longer than planned, the fuel was almost gone. Mission Control wanted Neil to take as much time as he needed and fly the LM as near empty as possible only because they wanted him to make the landing. But if he ran out of fuel above the surface, in all likelihood the LM would crash onto the moon.



When it comes time to set Eagle down in the Sea of Tranquility, Armstrong improvises, manually piloting the ship past an area littered with boulders. During the final seconds of descent, Eagle's computer is sounding alarms.


A reader can best combine the information in the excerpts to


A. understand that Neil Armstrong had to improvise the landing of the LM, named Eagle, while it was dangerously low on fuel.

B. understand that Neil Armstrong was not in control of the LM, named Eagle, while it was being landed on the moon.

C. understand that Neil Armstrong would crash the LM, named Eagle, if he ran out of fuel above the moon’s surface.

What is a short-term benefit for a company to regularly keeping wages low?
Employees find high job satisfaction.
Companies can expect a high turn-over.
Employees will become demoralized.
The company can keep costs to a minimum.

Answers

Answer:

The company can keep costs to a minimum.

Explanation:

This is the advantage that such a strategy would have for a company in the short-term. A company that regularly keeps wages low is likely to save money initially. However, this strategy is not a successful one in the long term. Such a company would most likely have employees who are unhappy or unsatisfied with their job. It would also lead to a high turn-over due to employees being demoralized.

Which of the following best describes how the narrator describes nature, especially the cold?AThe narrator describes the cold as a pervasive, almost personified force.BThe narrator describes nature constantly changing and unpredictable.CThe narrator describes nature, even the dog, as indifferent to the struggles of the man.DThe narrator describes the cold as merely an element that can be easily conquered by men and fire.

Answers

This question is in reference to the short story "To Build a Fire", by Jack London.

Answer:

The options best suited for the way the narrator describes nature and the cold is:

C. The narrator describes nature, even the dog, as indifferent to the struggles of the man.

Explanation:

"To Build a Fire" is a short story by author Jack London in which a man learns a most valuable lesson at a very high cost. The main character ignores how powerful nature is, thinking too much of his own skills. He is new to the winter at the Yukon region and naive enough to forget his own weaknesses as a human being.

The narrator in the story makes it clear that nature is not concerned with man. Nature has no mind, it simply is, in a powerful manner. It is man who wishes to conquer nature but to no avail. Throughout the story, the man thinks to himself that "it is certainly cold". That's it. Simply put, no exaggeration, no personification.

The dog that accompanies the man, for instance, is merely confused by the man's lack of fear. The dog understands danger better than the man. Notice that it is indifferent toward this man. What concerns it is survival. The same goes for nature. It is relentless, unstoppable. The cold is still cold, even if it kills someone:

Never in the dog’s experience had it known a man  to sit like that in the snow and make no fire. As the evening grew  darker, its eager longing for the fire mastered it. [...] Later, the dog howled loudly. And  still later it moved close to the man and caught the smell of death.  This made the animal back away. A little longer it delayed, howling  under the stars that leaped and danced and shone brightly in the cold  sky. Then it turned and ran along the trail toward the camp it knew,  where there were the other food providers and fire providers.

Please select the best answer from the choices provided


A
B
C
D

Answers

The correct answer is C. Drew Barrymore was born exactly 100 years after her great-grandfather, Maurice, immigrated to America.

Explanation:

The Barrymore family is an important family in the field of acting, which includes famous actors such as John Drew Barrymore, Diana Blanche Barrymore, and Drew Barrymore. In the case of Drew Barrymore, she is one of the youngest actresses of this family and was born on 1975. Besides this, Drew Barrymore is the daughter of John Drew Barrymore who was born in 1932, the granddaughter of John Barrymore who was born in 1882 and the great-granddaughter of Maurice Barrymore who was born in 1849 and migrated to the United States in 1874. This means Drew Barrymore was born 101 years after her great-grandfather Maurice immigrated to America, and therefore it is false she was born exactly 100 years after this event.

Answer:

C.) Drew Barrymore was born exactly 100 years after her great-grandfather, Maurice, immigrated to America.

How is the excerpt an example of irony? Harrison

Answers

Answer:

A. Handicapping intelligence contradicts expectations because intelligence is normally considered a positive attribute.

Explanation:

According to a different source, this question refers to the following passage of "Harrison Bergeron":

"And George, while his intelligence was way above normal, had a little mental handicap radio in his ear. He was required by law to wear it at all times. It was tuned to a government transmitter. Every twenty seconds or so, the transmitter would send out some sharp noise to keep people like George from taking unfair advantage of their brains."

A. Handicapping intelligence contradicts expectations because intelligence is normally considered a positive attribute.

B. Handicapping intelligence is pointless because determining whether one’s intelligence is above normal is a matter of opinion.

C. If George were really that intelligent, he would remove the device from his ear.

D. The mental handicap radio is incapable of correcting physical advantages.

Irony is a literary device in which the outcome of the story is the opposite from what the reader would normally expect. In this case, the reader would normally assume that the government would consider intelligence to be a positive quality. Moreover, we would assume that the government would not want to interfere with it. However, in this society, the government wants people to be less intelligent, and goes to great lengths in order to achieve it.
