Answer:
After realizing a trial with green and red circles, where the participants had to find a correct target in order to obtain a reward, Zachary Rooper and his team announced that the attention of adolescents is related to rewarding information.
<em>Once the teenage brain has linked a behavior to that reward, it continues to seek the reward again and again. That’s why teens are likely to opt for the reward of social media when they should be studying. Or why they respond to texts while driving.
</em>
Explanation:
This evidence cannot be sufficient to support his statement that teenage brains are constantly seeking to reward. Teenage distractions and lack of attention could be related to their studying habits and their interests, not with the rewards they are expecting from social media websites. Although the rewarding system can motivate middle school and high school students, it should not be related to another habit in their life. It's true that many parents reward their children for achieving good results at school, but their concentration is also related to their personality, study habits, etc.
Therefore, Rooper's statement could be partially applied to the teenage population, but it shouldn't determine their behavior, as some of these behaviors are related to their age and the essential period of their development.
The instances of situational irony most likely occurred in the passage in:
- The aunt expects the boy to accept her explanations, but he does not.
- The aunt expects the boy to be interested in the cows, but he is not.
Situational irony occurs when the opposite of a particular expected outcome happens.
Although the passage is incomplete, i can infer that the passage you are referring to is from <em>The Storyteller</em> which talks about the conversation between a young boy and his aunt about the movement of sheep to another pasture.
Situational irony is used when the boy <u>refuses to accept </u>his aunt's explanation and also when the boy is <u>uninterested in the cows.</u>

Answer:
The history of the English language really started with the arrival of three Germanic tribes who invaded Britain during the 5th century AD. These tribes, the Angles, the Saxons and the Jutes, crossed the North Sea from what today is Denmark and northern Germany. At that time the inhabitants of Britain spoke a Celtic language. But most of the Celtic speakers were pushed west and north by the invaders - mainly into what is now Wales, Scotland and Ireland. The Angles came from "England" [sic] and their language was called "English" - from which the words "England" and "English" are derived. Towards the end of Middle English, a sudden and distinct change in pronunciation (the Great Vowel Shift) started, with vowels being pronounced shorter and shorter. From the 16th century the British had contact with many peoples from around the world.
This, and the Renaissance of Classical learning, meant that many new words and phrases entered the language. The invention of printing also meant that there was now a common language in print. Books became cheaper and more people learned to read. Printing also brought standardization to English. Spelling and grammar became fixed, and the dialect of London, where most publishing houses were, became the standard. In 1604 the first English dictionary was published.
Explanation:
The one you have marked as three is definitely one of your choices. They are possessed by laughter, but the counterbalance to that is the Sergeant-Major's horrified look in response. He cannot believe they are treating this so lightly. It is a serious business to him, and we will eventually find out that the family's response will get them into deep trouble.
My other choice would be sentence two. The wife is very lightly making a joke which the husband can really appreciate. She's not taking the problem seriously at all. She is making an illusion to the Indian Goddess (Lakshmi and who is the goddess of wealth and prosperity) who does have 2 pairs of hands. Mrs. White is asking that she have 2 extra pairs of arms to do her work; she is making light of the Indian culture that would hold Lakshmi in high regard. The Sergeant Major is not taken in by any of this. He knows their a deep mysteries on our planet and he's urging them to take these mysteries seriously.
