Answer:

Explanation:

An irony is a rhetorical device which appears to be a certain way but it us actually the opposite it is the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect.

Irony is a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often wryly amusing as a result.

George is too intelligent, more intelligent than normal, but wears a device that keeps him and people like him from taking advantage of their brain. Despite being very intelligent, their own brain is being protected from them, so that they can't use it unfairly. This is highly ironical.

They are intelligent but they are not permitted to use their Brain because they may use it unfairly.

Answer: Irony is a figure of speech whereby words are used to express something other than especially the opposite the literal meaning. In simple terms, irony occurs when what is said or written actually negates what happen in reality.

How did China's emperors generally approach global trade during the early
Margaret [11]

China's emperors generally approach global trade during the early

years of the Ming dynasty was

A. They avoided trade and cultural contact with other civilizations

Explanation:

China was a society that was very isolationist and believed their ways to be superior enough to not engage in much cultural or social exchange outside of their own nation.

This was something that materializes much more in the Ming dynasty as the rulers even decreased trade with the outside world which was something that China had always been open for.

This close off of china led for the colonial powers to force it into trade eventually after hundreds of years of isolation.

Analyse THREE actions that the South African Government is doing to
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Explanation:

All they are doing is redistribution, not creation. They are enforcing fewer and fewer people to subsidise and pay for more and more people who do not pay for services. Meanwhile the service infrastructure is ageing and in the process of collapse as it was never designed for so many people, Lack of upgrade and maintenance is the last nail in the coffin.

Redistribution does not work. If you tax people more and more they will stop using the service and find alternatives. Look how many people are going off-grid. I am off grid. It now works out cheaper, I don’t have to suffer load shedding and water cutoffs, and I dont have to pay more and more and subsidise more and more people for less and less service. I don’t care anymore about their loadshedding and huge tariff hikes. The more they charge the faster I pay off my off grid system.

Because they insist on subsidising so many people, there is no money left for capital infrastructure. Policies that drive people off grid means that less and less of those prepared to pay are now contributing to as service they no longer want any part of.

The ANC has only themselves to blame for the utter collapse. Their policies, incompetence, cadre deployment of incompetents to government have brought about ruin. Apartheid left them functioning infrastructure that did well to last until now, well past the design life, and a well run efficient civil service. It shows how good their build quality and plans were. The stuff put in by ANC BEE contractors lasts as long as a Made in China product. All they have done is given equal access to less and less so you have access to a failing collapsing product with no hope of salvation unless EVERYONE pays a fair price by what they use, and the ANC stops stealing that revenue. To expect them to stop stealing is like asking a cow to stop eating grass. It is their nature to graze on the veld maintained by others, not to grow anything themselves.
