The statement that describes the irony in the narrator's observation that the couple is "not from here" is "the narrator is not from 'here' either," option A.

<h3>What is irony?</h3>

Irony is usually described as a situation where the consequences or outcome is different from what we initially expected. Here, however, we are looking for the irony found in the narrator's words in the story "Mericans."

In this case, the irony is not about the situation or its outcome per se. It relates more to who is saying what about whom. The girl who narrates the story is "not from here," which means she is not completely American. She is of Mexican origin, but she still judges the couple she sees by saying they were clearly "not from here."

In other words, the irony is that everyone is "not from here" to someone. The narrator is "not from here" in the sense that she is Mexican. The couple is "not from here" in the sense that they are not Catholics.

With the information above in mind, we can choose option A as the correct answer.

In at least 150 words, describe how the popularity of works such as “The Way to Wealth” represented a gradual transformation in
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Benjamin Franklin's "The Way To Wealth" signifies the change from the "puritan plain" writing style to the "protestant work ethic" style. In fact, it wasn't just the writing style that changed, it was American values, traditions, nationalism, and culture that changed during this time as well. The popularity of The Way To Wealth showed that more and more Americans were concerned with higher levels of intellectual knowledge, than they did for futile religious dogma and rhetoric. Furthermore, Americans didn't love with being a colony of the British Empire, so this area in time also represented a gradual change in the American value of British nationalism, to American nationalism. Therefore, besides the fact that Americans were switching from the puritan faith to the protestant doctrine, they were also beginning to change their values in regards to education and British nationalism. The reason being, they no longer wanted education for the rich, but they wanted it for everyone and they weren't fond of being taxed a lot by Great Britain.

Explain why recessive mutant alleles are hard to eliminate from a population.​
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

It is almost impossible to totally eliminate recessive alleles from a population, because if the dominant phenotype is what is selected for, both AA and Aa individuals have that phenotype. Individuals with normal phenotypes but disease-causing recessive alleles are called carriers.

Explanation:

While harmful recessive alleles will be selected against, it's almost impossible for them to completely disappear from a gene pool. That's because natural selection can only 'see' the phenotype, not the genotype. Recessive alleles can hide out in heterozygotes, allowing them to persist in gene pools.

Is the passage of dialogue written correctly or incorrectly? "Did you see any dolphins at the aquarium in Baltimore?" Sam asked.
vova2212 [387]
It is "B", written incorrectly, because Brett said "They were beautiful." But after that it said "replied Brett." It should not have the period after "They were beautiful" but instead a comma. This would be how it would look if correct: "They were beautiful," replied Brett. "But I wasn't close enough to take good pictures." I hope you understand.
