Answer:

<u>Epiphany </u>is a sudden revelation in a short story.

Irony is used in literature to lay emphasis on the story or a particular thing. It also involves the readers or audience to process the story on their own.

Situational irony is when what is happening in a particular scene is different from what is true or what the intended outcome is.

Explanation:

The term that is used to describe a sudden revelation in a short story is an epiphany. <u>Epiphany is a sudden realization of or about something, that comes as a 'bolt' of understanding</u>. It suddenly expresses or reveals the true nature of the character(s) through a particular word, or action or setting, etc.

Irony is the expression of a particular feeling or emotion but which signifies a completely different thing. This rhetorical device is used to express or show a feeling whose real meaning is the contrary of what was expressed.  In literature, irony is used in such a way that it reveals the truth of a character or setting or scene which cannot be directly addressed or spoken by the characters. It also sometimes lays emphasis and provide a humorous tone to the story.

Situational irony is one such type of irony where the actions of the characters differ from what is happening. The outcome of the situation is the exact opposite of what was intended.

We might fear rejection from the people closest to us. If you were talking to a stranger, for instance, you wouldn’t care too much if they judged you, because you wouldn’t be losing anything. Talking to the people closest to us can bring up the fear of rejection because if they hear something they don’t like, they might leave, or they might talk to you, or look at you differently, and it could trigger a paranoia, psychologically making you uncomfortable to be around them and therefore, you lose a relationship.

English 6 EXPLAIN giving brainliest to the correct answer​
Katen [24]

Answer:

B. The weather was frigid in Minnesota; it wasn't warm at all.

Explanation:

An antonym is the opposite word or meaning of a given word. It gives the exact opposite or different meaning of what is implied by a word.

In the context of the word "frigid", the antonym will be "warm, hot, pleasant," etc. And among the given statements, sentence B uses the antonym context of the word "frigid". While the other three statements give the implication of the coldness of Minnesota, the second sentence uses the antonym "warm" to add a different aspect of the coldness of the place.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
