I can give a minute-by-minute summary of the local Hawaiian news.
I believe we have here an example of situational irony.
Irony is found in the contrast between expected outcomes and what actually happens. The narrator wanted to spend the time on the beach, not in the hotel room watching local TV. However, the reality was such that now the narrator "can give a minute-by-minute summary of the local Hawaiian news".
That's why I think this particular sentence matches the style of the passage.
Answer:
The speaker stops to see the snowfall in the woods but knows his responsibilities won't allow him to stay long.
Explanation:
The poem "Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost is a poem where the speaker is in a dilemma between his duty and what he wants to do. Stuck between admiring the snowy woods and his duty living in society places him in a contrasting position.
While the central idea of the poem is that the speaker wants to admire the beauty of nature, he also acknowledges that it is <em>"queer"</em> even for his horse to stop in the middle of the woods. But as a man living in a society, he <em>"ha[s] promises to keep, and miles before [I] sleep"</em>.
And through the presentation of how the speaker stops and admires the snowfall in the woods, he also knows that his responsibilities won't allow him to have this enjoyment/ leisure for a longer duration.
Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
Answer:
social - character vs. character
Explanation:
According to the excerpt from "The Sky Will Not Fall.", William is annoyed with himself and does not want his wife to be doing hard work that is meant only for him. He observed her roughened hand and says that such life was not what he wanted for her.
According to this excerpt, the type of conflict that is described is social conflict of which it is character vs character because William is at conflict with himself for the kind of life he has.
Answer:
C. Revising a poem’s ideas and words
Explanation:
This question refers to Mackenzie Connellee's poem "Invitation".
There, the author counters the claim that writing poetry is easy work and gives some examples of the creative process.
In the mentioned lines, the author makes a metaphor about poetry "slopping lazily over the couch of a page" while the author has to "remove its muddy shoes and rearrange the pillows". That means that it takes some hard work and long road from the idea and raw material to the finished poem.
