The correct answer is the last option-The handicaps devised to conceal the ballerina’s strength and beauty actually accentuate them.

It is ironic because usually one associates beauty with something delicate and fragile. However, here it is the physical strength that makes this woman appealing. The author is not necessarily attracted by her physical appearance per se, but by the persistence and toughness present in her ability to endure the hardship of carrying the handicap bags.

Answer: D) The handicaps devised to conceal the ballerina’s strength and beauty actually accentuate them.

Explanation: an irony is a state of affairs or an event that seems contrary to what one expects and it often has an amusing result. In the given excerpt from "Harrison Bergeron" the irony is that the ballerina is wearing handicaps that are supposed to conceal her beauty, grace and strength, but they actually accentuate those characteristics, which seems contradictory, so the correct answer is option D.

What are implicit details, and how do these contribute to the process of interpreting the theme of a story. Your answer should b
Mandarinka [93]
Implicit means something not clearly stated, so implicit details are details that are not clearly stated. Or rather, they are details that are more implied, rather than given. And how they contribute to the story is that they make the reader figure things out, so it isn't just another easy story to read, but it is a little more difficult to read, because you have to figure things out. hope this answer helps :)

How does Poe use repetition, sound devices, and point of view for meaning and effect in "The Raven"? What is the
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Repetition in "the raven" gives the sensation of dark and dreary mood, the word "nevermore" is repeated at the end or nearly every stanza.

Repetition of consonant sounds is here: "and the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain". This consonance let people know what Poe was thinking when he wrote the text.

Point of view is the despair of the man and the echo of his sadness throughout the whole poem.
