To answer this question, we first have to clarify some terms.
A frame story occurs when a story is told within a story. For example, in the movie "The Princess Bride," the story is told by a grandfather telling a story to his grandson. The story he tells is about the Princess Bride. The above excerpt does not have a frame structure. As a result, option B. can be eliminated.
A flashback occurs when a segment of the story goes back in time. For example, if the narrator is in the middle of a scene and then thinks about a time from his childhood, that is a flashback. However, in this excerpt from the novel, all of the action is occurring in the present. As a result, option D. can be eliminated.
That leaves options A. and C. It is clear the narration is occurring in chronological order. However, is that the best answer? To decide, look closely at what is happening in the scene.
The narrator is doing two things here. First, the narrator describes Scotty's actions. Second, the narrator is commenting on them. For example: He begins to play a song, but then the narrator switches to commentary and describes the song's "gushy metallic complexity." Scotty plays two more songs, and the narrator comments "their amplification was fine." This format continues throughout the selection.
Therefore, the best answer to this question is option A: Multiple switches are used between the action and commentary.
Answer:
Situational irony.
Explanation:
Irony is saying one thing but meaning quite the opposite. It is mostly used for a humorous effect.
There are different types of ironies- <u>dramatic irony, situational irony, verbal irony</u>, etc. And the given example is situational irony.
Situational irony is when the situation is opposite to what is meant. Likewise, Chef Kylie may be a professional chef, proven by his signature dish, triple-dipped chip steak. This means he's good at cooking meat. But at the same time, he is a vegan, meaning his profession and personal lifestyle are opposite. It is ironic for he is a vegan who loves and is an expert in cooking meat.
Answer:
D. Not everyone has equal access to scarce resources.
Explanation:
Dystopian aims to portray a story that is as dehumanizing and unpleasant as possible.
If not D, then it is B.
The book Red Rising is a dystopian novel, the characters do not all have equal access to scarce resources. (It's a good book, I recommend it lol)
I believe the answer is A., though it's been a while since I read the story.
