Read the passage below and answer the question that follows: from Heidi By Johanna Spyri The early light of morning lay rosy red

upon the mountains, and a fresh breeze rustled through the fir trees and set their ancient branches waving to and fro. The sound awoke Heidi and she opened her eyes. The roaring in the trees always stirred a strong emotion within her and seemed to draw her irresistibly to them. So she jumped out of bed and dressed herself as quickly as she could, but it took her some time even then, for she was careful now to be always clean and tidy. When she went down her ladder she found her grandfather had already left the hut. He was standing outside looking at the sky and examining the landscape as he did every morning, to see what sort of weather it was going to be. Little pink clouds were floating over the sky, that was growing brighter and bluer with every minute, while the heights and the meadow lands were turning gold under the rising sun, which was just appearing above the topmost peaks. "O how beautiful! how beautiful! Good-morning, grandfather!" cried Heidi, running out. "What, you are awake already, are you?" he answered, giving her a morning greeting. Then Heidi ran round to the fir trees to enjoy the sound she loved so well, and with every fresh gust of wind which came roaring through their branches she gave a fresh jump and cry of delight. Read the excerpt below and answer the question that follows: The early light of morning lay rosy red upon the mountains, and a fresh breeze rustled through the fir trees and set their ancient branches waving to and fro. The sound awoke Heidi and she opened her eyes. The roaring in the trees always stirred a strong emotion within her and seemed to draw her irresistibly to them. So she jumped out of bed and dressed herself as quickly as she could, but it took her some time even then, for she was careful now to be always clean and tidy. Based on this excerpt, which argument do you think the author would make about life in the mountains?

The author's argument about life in the mountains would be that life was emotional and beautiful. According to the text, it states, "while the heights and the meadow lands were turning gold under the rising sun, which was just appearing above the topmost peaks."  Another piece of evidence is: "<span>The roaring in the trees always stirred a strong emotion within her and seemed to draw her irresistibly to them." </span>This supports the author's argument that life in the mountains was actually very enchanting.

Which scenario is an example of irony?
Anettt [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

Option B. A tow truck sits stranded on the side of the road with a flat tire is irony.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Irony is a rhetorical device employed by writers or speakers to present a situation where contrary results of what is expected are obtained resulting in wry humour.

A tow truck is a vehicle provided with special equipment to pull damaged , illegally parked, or immovable vehicles in need of help to be either disposed of or dragged  to a place where they  can be repaired.  It is expected to be a savior carrying immobile vehicles to their destination which is most often a repair shop.

In the given situation, the tow truck is itself not able to ply on the road and is helplessly stranded on the roadside due to a flat tyre.  It is contrary to what is expected and is consequently amusing.  This is an example of irony.

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

In "The Alchemist," by Brazilian author Paulo Coelho, Andalusian shepherd boy Santiago prefers to keep his jacket for the reason that in the south of Spain the temperature changes from extremely hot during the day to very cold at night. Besides, the jacket is a representation of his willingness to change and see the world during his journey to Egypt, which has to do with the central theme of the novel: readiness to change.
