Answer:

C. Generous.

Explanation:

The word 'altruistic' is an adjective that defines the quality of someone who is self-less and thinks more about others over one's own gain or advantage.

In the given passage, the correct word which defines the term 'altruistic' is generous. The word 'generous' correctly fits the sentence. And, the remaining part of the sentence also helps to know that the term is trying to define the 'generosity of the person. The words like <em>'always giving money or things to local charities' </em>also adds to the term.

Thus the correct word for 'altruistic' is <em>generous </em>(C).

Different types of irony
Reil [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is: situational, dramatic and verbal irony.

Explanation:

The irony is a literary device we use to express certain meanings by using language that signifies the opposite, to indicate a higher negative implication through the positive wording.

There are three types of irony: dramatic, situational, and verbal.

Dramatic irony represents the situation when the audience understands what is happening in a certain situation better than the characters. The best example of this type of irony can be found in Shakespeare's <em>Romeo and Juliet</em> when Romeo dies because he believes Juliet is dead.

Situational irony occurs when some action has the opposite result from what is expected.

For example:

John realizes it's his wife's birthday. He goes to buy her a present, and after buying it, he realizes the birthday was three days ago.

Verbal irony occurs when the speaker says the opposite of what he/she thinks.

For example:

The cousin you hate is coming to see you and you are saying: <em>What a nice surprise</em>!
