Answer-</h3>
Tense of the verb tells <u>when(</u><u>time </u><u>of </u><u>an </u><u>action</u><u>)</u> an action is done. There are three tenses of the verbs: <u>past</u> tense, <u>present</u> tense, and the <u>future</u> tense. Past tense tells about actions that happened in <u>the </u>past. <u>“</u><u>W</u><u>a</u><u>s</u><u>”</u> or <u>“</u><u>w</u><u>e</u><u>r</u><u>e</u><u>”</u> are added <u>before </u><u>the </u><u>main </u><u>verbs</u> to change it in past tense. Present tense tells about actions that are <u>currently</u><u> </u><u>happening in the </u><u>present</u>(did some changes to the question). We add <u>“</u><u>i</u><u>s</u><u>”</u> or <u>“</u><u>a</u><u>r</u><u>e</u><u>”</u> to change the verb into present tense. Future tense tells about actions that <u>will </u><u>happen</u><u> </u><u>in </u><u>the </u><u>future</u>. Adding <u>“</u><u>will”</u> or <u>“</u><u>s</u><u>h</u><u>a</u><u>l</u><u>l</u><u>”</u> to the verb will change it in future tense.
→I did some minor changes to the question too, you can check.
Irony is when the opposite of the expected outcome occurs. The answer would be C. The desire to make people safe leads to a future in which everyone is confined to their beds.
The idea would be that everyone would be save to live how they please, but being confined to their beds does not allow them any opportunity for life.
Hope this helps!!
I'd say that the statement from FDR's speeches that uses parallel structure is C. American ships have been sunk; American airplanes have been destroyed.
Both of these independent clauses use the passive form of the verb - in the first clause, the passive form of the verb <em>to sink </em>is used, and in the second, of the verb <em>to destroy.
</em>A parallel structure means that throughout a sentence, the same form of words is used, and given that here both sentences have passive forms, I'd say C is the correct answer.<em>
