Which statement most accurately describes a characteristic of sarcasm in literature?

English
1 answer:
ASHA 777 [7]3 years ago
8 0

The correct answer is C. Sarcasm sounds positive but is meant to be the opposite

Sarcasm involves a dry sense of humor where something is said ironically to entertain or amuse readers. An instance of sarcasm could be telling someone "Thanks, you've been a great help", when in fact they have been strongly unhelpful and unsupportive towards you. Another instance of sarcasm could be telling some, "Aren't you beautiful?" when in fact they are wearing an ugly ogre costume for Halloween.

As a general rule, really great novels contain
skad [1K]

As a common rule, truly great novels contain universal truths. Universal truths in literature support writers to build a connection with readers.

Explanation:

The universal truth seems to also build the moral of the story or principle. One source that writers must connect with readers using universal truth is through emotion. This thing makes the novels can be great. Universal truth makes it easy for the readers to read it. Intrinsic elements of the literary works also make a novel good. There are numerous intrinsic elements of a literary work that you can see below:

• Setting

Time and place of the action are the settings of a literary work. The settings comprise all the details of a time and place - the year, the month, even the weather.

• Theme

The theme of a literary work is the main message, attention, or purpose. Themes can usually be stated as generalizations, or general statements, about life or people. Themes can be stated by the author directly although more often shown indirectly. When a theme is shown indirectly, the reader must find out the theme by looking thoroughly at what is expressed by the work about people or life.

• Plot

Conflict in the plot is the dramatic fight between two characters in a story.  Without it, plot won’t be there. Furthermore, there are types of conflict in the plot: character vs character, character vs nature, character vs society, and character vs self

• Point of View

Perspective from which a story delivered is called the point of view. It shows the narrator's relationship with the story.

1.  First-person can be determined by a character who uses “I” for the first-person pronoun.

2. Third-person limited point of view is the point of view or perspective where the writer uses pronouns in the form of third-person such as “he” and “she” to refer to the characters.

Fill in the blanks to explain how tomato plants fight aphids​
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Aphids remove sap from the plant with their piercing-sucking mouthparts. Tomato plants can tolerate large numbers of aphids without suffering yield loss. However, severe infestations can cause leaves to curl and may stunt plants.
