Which excerpt from O’Connor’s "Good Country People" contains an example of irony? Joy was her daughter, a blonde girl who had an

artificial leg. Mrs. Hopewell thought of her as a child though she was thirty-two years old and highly educated. [W]hen she and the girl happened to be out of the house together, she would say something and add the name Hulga to the end of it, and the big spectacled Joy-Hulga would scowl and redden as if her privacy had been intruded upon. She considered the name her personal affair. Nothing is perfect. This was one of Mrs. Hopewell’s favorite sayings. Another was: that is life! And still another, the most important, was: well, other people have their opinions too. Mrs. Hopewell liked to tell people . . . how she had happened to hire the Freemans in the first place and how they were a godsend to her and how she had had them four years. Mark this and return

Answer:

"Nothing is perfect. This was one of Mrs. Hopewell's favorite sayings. Another was: that is life! And still another, the most important, was: well, other people have their opinions too. "

Explanation:

Irony is a literary device used when a character, or even the narration, says the opposite of what I really believe and think. An example of this can be seen in the text shown in the question above, in the lines "Nothing is perfect. This was one of Mrs. Hopewell's favorite sayings. Another was: that is life! And still another, the most important, was: well, other people have their opinions too. "

These lines were spoken by Ms. Hopewell, this is because she says that her daughter should not care what people say or think about the mechanical leg she uses, however Ms. Hopewell herself feels sorry for her daughter and ended up saying something contrary to what I really wanted to say.

Juli2301 [7.4K]
Well knowing that people have there own opinions,some people could find it appealing cuz of the fact it seems like a love letter or cuz they find just that intro interresting. but for me its cuz it seems like the person who wrote it really must love their husband so if i were to use an intro like that id do it for the man i love.

Someone coughing in the audience or walking in late during a presentation are examples of what element in the speech communicati
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

D). Interference.

Explanation:

'Interference' in general terms is associated with 'obstructing or intervening in between a particular action or process. In 'speech communication process', it is described as the active or passive obstruction created by the audience that  often leads to break the flow and concentration of the speaker.

As per the question, 'coughing or walking of the audience' in the middle of a presentation would be exemplified as 'interference' because it would distract the speaker as well as other people sitting in the audience and obstruct their attention which may break the flow of ideas collaboratively and coherently. It would also affect their concentration that may <u>influence the readers' understanding(by blocking their capacity to receive the intended message) of the message or idea and therefore, the desired impact would not be evoked.</u> Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.
