The correct answer is C. Sarcasm is verbal irony used in a mocking way.

Explanation:

Verbal irony focuses on conveying a message that is the opposite of the literal meaning of the words used. This implies in verbal irony there is an incongruence between the real message of the speaker and the words he/she uses, due to this, the use of verbal irony is often related to humor.

On the other hand, sarcasm focuses on mocking someone or criticizing society by using exaggeration and irony to show flaws or negative aspects. The previous idea implies sarcasm is verbal irony but different from regular verbal irony the purpose is to mock or criticize someone or something rather than only using humor. Therefore, the difference between sarcasm and the verbal irony is "Sarcasm is verbal irony used in a mocking way".

Answer:

Professions develop ethical standards and codes for a number of reasons. First, ethical standards help reassure the public, particularly law-makers, that the field can regulate itself and does not need others outside of the profession to make laws to govern the practice of that profession in order to protect the public's interests. Ethical standards offer the public reassurance in general that a profession is standardized and that they can expect to be treated ethically according to set criteria. This improves people's perception of and trust in the profession and consequently increases business. To put it simply, ethical standards increase the professionalism of the profession.

Determine the rhyme scheme of the following poem.
jeka94
The rhyme scheme consists of a discernible pattern of rhymes (words corresponding to other words in sounds) at the end of the lines, or in the middle. In this case, the rhyme scheme is as follows: ABBAABBACDCDCD. Look at the ending words of each line, and you'll notice the pattern: "saint" - "grave" - "gave" - "faint" (the first rhymes with the fourth, and the second rhymes with the third); the same with "taint" - "save" - "have" - "restraint". The rest of them: "mind" - "sight" - "shin'd" - "delight" (the first and the third rhyme with each other, just like the second and the fourth), etc.
