The correct answer is D. Weed tree that wreaks havoc on the environment is referred to favorably as the "tree-of-heaven."
Explanation:
Irony occurs when the outcome in a situation is not the one expected or words have an opposite meaning to the literal meaning. In the excerpt, there is irony because the three known as the "tree-of-heaven" in China is an invasive and harmful species. This can be seen in "implacable invaders capable of rooting in tiny chinks in subway tunnels" and in "heaving up sidewalks and wreaking havoc in sewers" that shows the power the tree has to invade spaces and destroy structures despite the name suggests the tree is positive. This means there is an incongruence between the expectations about the tree and the reality. Thus, the statement that explains irony is statement D.
Answer with Explanation:
1. Why do you think that Warren Brown includes the fact that Colin Powell moved from Harlem to the Bronx when he was three years old?
Warren Brown included the fact that Colin Powell moved from Harlem to the Bronx in order to show that <u>he was brought up in a black community until he was three years old.</u> It also shows how he grew up in a better-living area compared to that of the Harlem. The Bronx contained many immigrants and it this is where Colin was raised. This allowed Colin to mingle with different nationals and <u><em>not mind the color of his skin.</em></u>
2. What does this suggest about his parents?
This suggested that his parents<em> (Luther and Maud)</em> were concerned about rearing their children in a nicer community rather than the Harlem. They wanted Colin and Marylin to grow up with "confidence" and "discipline." They wanted the best for their children.
