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.

Answer:

The Greatest Showman is a musical about P T Barnum and how he created a circus. The characters played their roles beautifully, specifically Zendaya and Keala Settle. The way that the songs were interlaced with the characters movements and actions was spot on and perfectly in sync. One weak point would be when Rebecca Ferguson is lip singing Never enough on stage, and she doesn't pull it off smoothly. The overall message that you are perfect just the way you are is portrayed beautifully throughout the entire movie.

Select the sentence in this passage that can be classified as a false statement.
Lelechka [254]
The correct answer should b <span>The melting ice will lead to the extinction of the polar bear as a species.

While the bears certainly are in trouble, there are many papers that show that they will not just go extinct. There are many areas where the warming has actually led to a replacement of ice, from a multilayered thick one to a smaller one where the seals are found more and more. Bears in this area thrive and are better than ever. The number of bears is pretty high and they mostly adapt to the situation so their extinction is not a certainty.</span>
