In The Pardoner’s Tale from The Canterbury Tales, we can see the use of Dramatic Irony, Situational Irony, and Verbal Irony.

These are some examples of different kinds

*Dramatic Irony on the phrase "youngest man comes back with bread and wine but is killed before he can poison the two men".

This is when the reader knows details that the characters don't that's why the situations are seen in a different way for the reader.

*Situational Irony on the phrase "the three brothers go on a hunt to kill death, but end up being killed themselves".  

This is when incongruity situations appear and it is a very common literary device.

*Verbal Irony on the phrase "the Pardoner preaches about avarice, yet he himself is a victim of the vice".  

This is when the words show something opposite to reality in any aspect.

In Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales" the reader is introduced to the Pardoner in "the Pardoner's Tale". What is ironic about the Pardoner is that he would often preach that money was the root of all evil, but then he would sell pardons (official documents that pardoned sins).

Answer:

The beaches I visited in Aruba had the same clear turquoise water that I had seen in the brochures.

Explanation:

<u>A relative clause, or adjective clause, is a group words that has a subject and a verb. It functions like an adjective would, offering information about a noun in the sentence. This type of clause starts with a relative pronoun or a relative adverb (who, whom, that, which, when, etc.)</u>

When we have two sentences that mention the same thing or person, we can often change one of the sentences into a relative clause. To do so, we add the relative pronoun and drop anything that is repetitive. Let's do that to the sentences that were provided in the question:

1. The beaches I visited in Aruba had clear turquoise water.

2. I'd seen the same clear turquoise water in the brochures.

Combined sentence: The beaches I visited in Aruba had <u>the same clear turquoise water</u> that I had seen in the brochures.

We did not need to repeat "clear turquoise water." We combined the sentences by transforming sentence 2 into a relative clause.

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

The author's purpose in writing this speech is to persuade listeners to perform volunteer work.

Explanation:

<u>The speaker wants the audience to work as volunteers to help keep the nesting turtles safe from predators. To convince people to do so, the speaker calls it "a unique opportunity," and says they can help "protect these endangered creatures" as well as make a difference by doing very little. This way, he/she expects the audience to feel like the task can be effortlessly carried out - just taking a stroll and clapping hands will suffice -, but its result will have incredible importance.</u>
