The correct answer is C. A situation in which what happens is the opposite of what was expected to happen

Explanation:

Irony is often classified into three types: verbal, dramatical and situational irony. In the case of the situation irony, this occurs when events have an unexpected outcome, which often means the opposite of what is expected occurs; also, situational irony occurs when characters, events, etc. are not in the way readers believe they should. For example, a character creates a precise plan to kill another but instead, he ends killing himself. Additionally, situational irony is used in literature to amuse readers or surprise them. According to this, the option that best describes situational irony is "A situation in which what happens is the opposite of what was expected to happen".

"If that isn’t enough, people who live in coastal communities within the Arctic Circle are also battling erosion along their coastlines."

"(These communities must relocate inland or their homes and land could be washed out to sea.)"
"(For ice in the Arctic, it’s a race against time. If humans do not change what we are doing to the global climate, the ice will continue to disappear and life as we know it will be altered.)"

What three things was Fredrick Douglass deprived of as a child that his audience thinks every child should have?
Stells [14]

Three things that Frederick Douglas was deprived of as a child and his audience thinks every child should have are:

The presence of his mother: his master separated him from his mother just after his birth. Because of this, he did not develop familiar feelings towards his mother. He said that, when he knew she had died, she felt the same as if a stranger would have died.

Freedom: He explains how unnatural slavery is and the means by which slave owners distort social bonds and the natural processes of life in order to turn man into slaves.

Sense of personal history: By removing a child from his immediate family, slaveholders destroy his support network and the sense of belonging.

Answer:

Study, study, study! I can’t really tell you what not to study, but focus most on subjects you aren’t the best at. Say your best subject is history. You don’t want to study hard on history when you already know all that. Study your weak points. Good luck, and I hope this answers your question!
