Answer:
Verbal Irony Is being used
The speaker says one thing, but they really mean another, resulting in an ironic clash between their intended meaning and their literal words.
Since Bryan was responsible for the third play, feeling embarrassed when one said "Nice hit, Champ" He did not mean it
Answer:B) Thrown.
Explanation: We know that it’s not “Grown” or “Gathered” given the context. If you replace the word “Strewn” in the sentence with the word “Blown,” that doesn’t make sense either. Because it doesn’t make sense that hay would be “blown” and scattered for ferocious animals. However, hay would be “thrown” and scattered for ferocious animals.
It would better improve the paragraph because it has nothin to do with the rest of the paragraph. The paragraph seems to be about team sports and promoting it, while sentence 3 is about individual sports are better then team sports. So removing sentence three would better promote CO-ED team sports.
