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

What do you think Miranda means when she says "the universe was not kind to Auggie Pullman"? Please write one complete sentence,
inna [77]

Answer:

She meant that Auggie has a big problem that he will have to deal with all his life.

Explanation:

As you may already know Auggie Pullman has a physical disability that limits many things in his body, in addition to making him look deformed, which causes many cases of prejudice that make Auggie very sad.

Since it is not possible for Auggie to get rid of this problem he will have to live with it his whole life and Miranda believes that this problem is an unjust and evil picture of the universe dealing with Auggie.

MissTica
Phillis Wheatley’s poem “To His Excellency General Washington” is as unique as the poet herself. The poem was sent to George Washington, the newly appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Armies of North America, in October of 1775, well before American Independence was declared in 1776.
