Explanation:
The correct answer is “Nothing could be further from the truth!”
Explanation:
The main feature of irony is that it shows contradiction or opposition between expectations and reality. An example of this in the excerpt from Animal farm is the fact other animals believe Napoleon and his friends are starting a rebellion in other farms, which is explained as "attempting to stir up rebellion" but this is not real or contradicts reality "Nothing could be further from the truth" because the main objective of Napoleon is to control the farm but he does not care about other farms. This shows a funny contradiction between the expectations of animals and the real intention of Napoleon.
Neutral connotation: house, fact, vegetation. Neutral connotation implies that the words used do not carry an extra meaning based on emotions. In this case, the words “house, fact, and vegetation” do not imply another meaning, just the literal one.
Positive connotation: home, happiness, rose. Positive connotation implies that the words carry an extra meaning apart from the literal one and affects positively in the context used. In this case, the word “home” implies the physical place as in house but it also implies that it is a cozy place where we feel comfortable. The word “happiness” is by itself a word with a positive connotation since we associate it with good things. And finally, the word “rose” has also a positive connotation since it is associated with love, flowers and spring.
