It is irony. Normally, when someone is unusually prompt, they are early. However, the speaker is using irony to say that her doctor is always late.

Answer: Irony

Explanation: Irony is, by definition, the usage of language with a meaning opposite to what is expected. In this case, the adjective "prompt," normally attributed to someone who arrives early, modified by the adverb "unusually" before it sets the expectation of the doctor being overly punctual. When we learn that unusual promptness equates, for this person, to being half an hour late, we get the humorous emphasis that the speaker wanted to attribute to the doctor's <em>lack</em> of punctuality.

What is the atmosphere/mood of "The Ransom<br> of Red Chief”?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

<u>Answer</u>:

The mood of the story "The Ransom  of Red Chief” is fun and light.

<u>Explanation</u>:

"The Ransom of Red Chief" by O. Henry is a light, fun and comical story. Though the story is on kidnapping and taking the ransom for a young boy “Johnny Dorset”, but the mood in the story is light. This is because Bill and Sam, the kidnappers are dumb and idiots. Johnny is the devil’s child, he makes the life of kidnappers very miserable. This leads to comic ways in the story.  

Funniest part is when Johnny’s mother, Ebenezer Dorset agrees to take her son back only if Bill and Sam pay her.
