Answer: A) No one would be glad to have no air conditioning on such a hot day.

Explanation: An irony is a statement or a situation that seems contradictory when we compare it with what the audience or the characters are expecting to happen. It usually has a humorous effect or it helps to criticize an aspect of society. In the given sentence we can see a clear example of an irony because saying "i'm so glad" when referring to the air conditioning breaking in a specially hot day, is a contradiction.

The verbal irony is the fact that you wouldn't actually be happy about the air conditioner breaking, but it highlights the tragedy of the situation

topjm [15]

Answer:

Nick felt his American Dream was useless, because he couldn't stand living with a lot of phonies who didn't care about the others and even their lives. In the book, he said, "I couldn't forgive him or like him, but I saw that what he had done was, to him, entirely justified. It was all very careless and confused. money is one of the majors themes in the book. He represents new money while Daisy and Tom represent old money. The distinguishing between east and west egg is the best way that Fitzgerald describes the difference in wealth. The American Dream is the hope that anyone can earn success if they work hard enough. Gatsby's love for Daisy led him to achieve extravagant wealth. In the sense of rising up social rank and obtaining financial success, Gatsby achieved the American Dream.
