Why is this excerpt an example of situational irony?

ZanzabumX [31]

This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

Read the excerpt from act 4, scene 3, of Julius Caesar.

BRUTUS. No man bears sorrow better. Portia is dead.

CASSIUS. Ha! Portia?

BRUTUS. She is dead.

CASSIUS. How scaped I killing when I crossed you so?

O insupportable and touching loss!

Upon what sickness?

BRUTUS. Impatient of my absence,

And grief that young Octavius with Mark Antony

Have made themselves so strong—for with her death

That tidings came. With this, she fell distraught,

And, her attendants absent, swallowed fire.

Why is this excerpt an example of situational irony?

Cassius does not believe that Portia is dead.

Brutus does not believe that Portia is dead.

Portia's death is unexpected because Brutus tried to protect her.

Cassius's response is unexpected because Brutus tried to protect him.

Answer:

The correct answer is "Cassius's response is unexpected because Brutus tried to protect him."

Explanation:

Let's start by clarifying what situational irony is.

Situational irony is what is used in literature for those situations where something totally different happens from what the audience expects to happen. There is the irony.

In this excerpt this happens in Cassius' amazement at Brutus, who did not kill him when he was actually expected to.

Given this information we can say that the correct answer is "Cassius's response is unexpected because Brutus tried to protect him."

“NO MAN HAS A GOOD ENOUGH MEMORY TO BE A SUCCESSFUL LIAR” –ABRAHAM LINCOLN

klemol [59]

Answer:

I, for one, agree with this quote. In simple terms, it basically means that no human being has a good enough memory to keep track of all the lies they've told. Once you start telling too many lies, you tend to lose track and end up digging yourself into a hole. A time that I've lied was when I made up a lie as to why my assignments weren't completed in middle school.

Certain homes and other buildings are designated as "target" dwellings by the EPA. What does this mean? Unset starred question T

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

There are specific requirements for contractors performing lead abatement or remodeling these homes

Explanation:

The EPA is the US Environmental Protection Agency and therefore works to protect the environment and the health of Americans through the creation of environmental protection projects, public health restoration, treatment plant implementations, and technical and inspection assistance to environmental exploration activities.

An example of the EPA's work can be seen when a house or building is designated as a "target." This means that the EPA will put requirements for this building or home to be remodeled to reduce the amount of lead present in the facility and prevent environmental lead contamination.
