Which phrase in this excerpt from Kurt Vonnegut's "Report on the Barnhouse Effect" is an example of sarcasm? To ask how much lon

ger the professor will live is to ask how much longer we must wait for the blessings of another world war. He is of short-lived stock: his mother lived to be fifty-three, his father to be forty-nine; and the life-spans of his grandparents on both sides were of the same order. He might be expected live, then, for perhaps fifteen years more, if he can remain hidden from his enemies. When one considers the number and vigor of these enemies, however, fifteen years seems an extraordinary length of time, which might better be revised to fifteen days, hours, or minutes. The professor knows that he cannot live much longer. I say this because of the message left in my mailbox on Christmas Eve. Unsigned, typewritten on a soiled scrap of paper, the note consisted of ten sentences. The first nine of these, each a bewildering tangle of psychological jargonand references to obscure texts, made no sense to me at first reading. The tenth, unlike the rest, was simply constructed and contained no large words.

I believe that the phrase “blessing of another World War”, in this excerpt from Kurt Vonnegut's "Report on the Barnhouse Effect", is an example of sarcasm. Sarcasm is a sharp remark similar to irony. It also uses expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, in order to ridicule something or someone. In this case, the word “blessing” is an example of sarcasm, as World War can’t be the blessing.

The required details about density is mentioned in below paragraph.

How might you determine the wooden block's density?

A wooden block must first be weighed in order to determine its mass in grams before one can determine its density. Its length, breadth, and height can all be measured in centimeters (cm), and the volume can then be calculated as a unit of cubic meters (cm3). To get the density in g/cm3, we must divide the mass by the volume.

How can the mass be located?

Using a formula, one can estimate an object's mass based on weight. Weight (W) divided by the Gravitational Acceleration yields mass (M) (G). Find the weight in pounds that would be equivalent in Newtons.
