<em>Comedy is, as we have said, an imitation of characters of a lower type- not, however, in the full sense of the word bad, the ludicrous being merely a subdivision of the ugly. It consists in some defect or ugliness which is not painful or destructive. To take an obvious example, the comic mask is ugly and distorted, but does not imply pain. </em>

Question: What conclusion can <u><em>NOT</em></u> be drawn from the text?

Options:

  • A) Comedies tended to focus on ordinary characters of a less noble type.
  • B) Characters in a comedy are not necessarily morally bad, so much as physically funny in an exaggerated way.
  • C)Comedy is an imitation of an action that is serious.
  • D)As the characters of a comedy represent "a lower-type" of person, so the events typically portrayed in comedies tend towards the ordinary affairs of everyday people.

Answer: The correct answer is option: <u>C) Comedy is an imitation of an action that is serious. </u>

Explanation: In the text, it mentions that comedy focuses on characters of a lower type, meaning ordinary and less noble types of characters. It also mentions that they're not in the full sense of the word bad nor destructive but rather ludicrous meaning amusing. However, it never mentions that comedy is an imitation of an action that is serious nor does it define comedy by seriousness.

Answer:

The conclusion that can not be drawn from the text is C)Comedy is an imitation of an action that is serious.

Explanation:

The definition of an imitation of action would be more like a parody or a satire, that has different connotations that a common and traditional comedy.

Answer: VERBAL IRONY

Explanation: Verbal irony is a contrast between what is said or written and what is really meant. When one's speeches or writings are different, contrary or are in contrast to what he or she truely meant, that is verbal irony; for example calling an ugly man handsome.

The word on the wrought iron gate which reads ARBEIT MACHT FREI, translates to WORK SETS YOU FREE. This is a verbal irony because what is written is contrary to what happens behind the gate.

Non of them were ever freed due to their hard work but they were rather gassed to death when they are sick and unable to work.
