I think that its either B, the host's responses to the woman, or C, the woman's excessive commentary. (I'm leaning more towards B, but i'm not sure.)

One example that establishes irony is woman asking if the musician is "grateful" for being introduced to white people and the host's contradictory response. I hope this helped! :)

In "Arrangement in Black and White," by Dorothy Parker, the irony is conveyed through the host's responses to the woman.

"He's over there by the bookcase," she said. "Let's wait till those people get through talking to him. Well, I think you're simply marvelous, giving this perfectly marvelous party for him, and having him meet all these white people, and all. Isn't he terribly grateful?"

In the above statement, the host's contradictory statement and the use of the word "grateful" convey irony. In the setting, the guests remain the innocent parody of the society's prejudice whereas, the audience recognizes the racism.

What are the tense and voice of the italicized verb in the following sentence? Your sister had gone when we arrived. past passiv

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Past perfect tense.

Explanation:

Supposing that the italicized verb is had gone, then the tense is past perfect tense.

This past perfect tense is an action that has happened sometime in the past but before something new has happened. In the sentence, the word "gone" is the third form of the verb, thus making it a past tense. Then, the use of the word "had" which is the past tense form of the verb "to have" shows it is the "perfect" form of the verb.

Thus, the whole sentence "Your sister had gone when we arrived." is in the "past perfect tense".
