English

Answer:

B) Upon inspection, the drawer exhibited a great array of the shells of various sorts of nuts. Indeed, to this quick-witted youth, the whole noble science of the law was contained in a nutshell.

Explanation:

This is the best example of verbal irony in the passage. Verbal irony occurs when a character uses words that express something that is contrary to truth or that is the opposite of what they truly mean. In this sentence, the speaker calls the boy "quick-witted," which implies that he is intelligent. However, we know that the boy is not intelligent, as he takes no interest in law and spends his day eating nuts.

I NEED HELP!!!
iren2701 [21]
Courage is something that cannot be analyzed or described in a dictionary, and it can only be shown when people overcome hindrances, challenges, and adversity. One such time I overcame adversity was learning how to play soccer efficiently and become good the sport. It took many days, months, and even a couple of years to score my team a win; in every game, I never got an opportunity to score a goal. However, I kept on trying, despite how others did not praise or encourage me. But one day, on a soccer game, I received the ball. I was very excited, but I knew I was going to let my team down. Still, I just remembered the effort and diligence I put into practice. I decided to kick the ball and hope for it to make it in the goal. I strategically kicked, but immediately looked away from the goal because I had a feeling it would not make it. I walked oppositely from the goal, and a moment later, I was picked up by my fellow players. I was confused, and I asked them what had happened. They were all happy to say that I finally scored a win for the team. All in all, there have been many times when I have overcome adversity and other hindrances, but this is one challenge or adversity that stands out from the rest.
