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.

What is going on in scene 2 act 1 of macbeth?
beks73 [17]
Duncan (the King of Scotland), his two sons (Malcolm and Donalbain), and Lennox (a Scottish nobleman) hang out with their attendants at a military camp in Scotland.
Lost? Check out this nifty map of major locations in the play.
King Duncan's forces have been busy fighting against the King of Norway and the traitor, Macdonwald.
A wounded Captain arrives, fresh from the field, where he fought to help Duncan's son, Malcolm, escape capture. What's the news?
Well, says the Captain, the battle was going south fast until brave Macbeth fought through the "swarm" of enemy soldiers and disemboweled the traitorous Macdonwald.
There's some gab about Macbeth's great courage in the face of seemingly impossible adversity and the Captain continues his story: after Macbeth spilled Macdonwald's guts all over the ground, the battle flared up again when the "Norwegian Lord" brought new men to the field, but even this didn't daunt Macbeth and Banquo, who just redoubled their efforts.
Oh, but could someone get the Captain a surgeon? He's kind of bleeding all over the place.
The Thane of Ross arrives from another battle, where Macbeth was also kicking serious butt. Sweno, Norway's king, is not allowed to bury his men until he hands over ten thousand dollars to the Scots.
Duncan then proclaims the traitorous Thane of Cawdor will be executed, and Macbeth, responsible for the victory, shall have his title.
Ross is sent to announce the news to Macbeth.

andreyandreev [35.5K]
Perhaps the answer is ankle or toe. A nose is part of the face and ankle is part of foot. It could also be other parts of feet such as toes. Hope you have a nice day.
