English

Pavel [41]3 years ago

There are many ironic events in "The Story of the Hour." First of all, we hear that the protagonist's husband has died, which turns out not to be true. Then she feels sad about her husbands death, however, her feelings turn to happiness once she realizes she is finally free. Ultimately, he returns home and she dies because her happiness was suddenly taken away from her - she didn't die because of heart problems, but rather because she no longer would have her freedom she so desperately wants.

First-generation immigrant children sometimes feel ashamed of their foreign-born parents. (On the other hand/For example), they
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

b. For example

Explanation:

The expression <em>for example</em> is a subordinating transition which introduces an illustration or model of what is mentioned before. Thus, it provides evidence to support the previous statement. As a result, refusing to bring American friends home is an exemplification of immigrant children feeling ashamed of their foreign-born parents.

The phrase <em>on the other hand</em> is incorrect because it is a coordinating transition which introduces an opposing point.
