Answer: Irony

Irony refers to a rhetorical device in which what appears to be the case is in fact dramatically different from the reality. In this case, both Jim and Della believed themselves to be giving the perfect gift to the other person, not knowing that the other person was giving away the thing that was necessary for the gifts to work. This is an example of irony.

Why is fast food so convenient? Do not copy and paste from google please explain to me in your own words.
Leokris [45]

Fast food is convenient because it is cheap and it’s prepared ahead of time and you don’t need to cook it. You just order and enjoy the meal especially if you don’t know how to cook. It saves time and energy.
