The author used verbal irony. What he said was different from what he meant, as it obviously was far from the downpour he described.

Explanation:

Although the prediction was one of heavy rain, there was no heavy rain and no flooding. Even so, the commentator talked as if there was one knowing that there wasn't.

By definition, irony is <em>"the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect."</em>

These texts are excerpts from the musical my fair lady and the play Pygmalion Which statements correctly describes a difference
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Hello. You did not show the texts to which this question refers. However, I can make a strong difference between the play "Pigmalion" and the musical "My fair lady" is that the musical features the pronouncing exercises "the rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain" and "In Hertford, Hereford, and Hampshire, hurricanes hardly ever happen ", while the play does not present these exercises.

Explanation:

"My fair lady" and the play "Pygmalion" tell the story of Eliza, a girl who grew up on the outskirts of her city and cannot speak the English language correctly, presenting several pronunciation errors. However, she starts taking classes with an academic and strong connoisseur of the standard language that teaches her to speak correctly and promotes many changes in her life.

In at least two hundred words, explain how the musician from "Arrangement in Black and White" relates to the African
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

In "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain," Hughes talks about the importance of identity and race in art. He argues that a true artist cannot be one in a way that is separate from his own identity. This is particularly true in the United States, where your racial background determines every aspect of who you are, what opportunities you have access to, and how people treat you.

This is illustrated in "Arrangement in Black and White." In this story, we see an African American artist who is admired by a white woman. The woman considers herself to be liberal and accepting of others. However, she is unable to look past her own racism and bias, despite her claim of being modern and understanding. This supports Hughes idea of the artist being unable to be an artist independently from his racial identity.
