Read 'Hearts and Hands', by William Sydney Porter
Which statement best describes the situational irony of the ending of the story?
A)- The reader doesn't expect to learn that Easton is the counterfeiter.
B). The reader expects Easton to ask to visit Miss Fairchild, and he doesn't
C)- Miss Fairchild expects Easton to ask her to join him out West, and he doesn't.
D). The reader doesn't expect other passengers to be listening to Miss Fairchild's conversation.
Answer: A)- The reader doesn't expect to learn that Easton is the counterfeiter.
Explanation:
When Miss Fairchild recognizes Mr. Easton as one of the two men handcuffed to each other on the train, she, and the reader, are led to believe that Mr. Easton is a United States marshall on his way to take the man he´s handcuffed to into prison. However, when Mr. Easton and his companion leave, two passengers talk about the conversation that had taken place with Miss Fairchild. Based on how Mr. Easton and his companion were handcuffed, they come to the conclusion that Mr. Easton was actually the prisoner and not the Marshall.
The memory of the event would never be forgotten
Answer:
Assuming that Team Moon was the first exceprt, the answer would be the following:
The Team Moon excerpt is more emotional and dramatic than the NASA excerpt.
Explanation:
The correct answer is:
The Team Moon excerpt is more emotional and dramatic than the NASA excerpt.
This is because it contains very dramtic words and phrases, including, "panic-stricken, gut-wrenching, [and] heart-palpitating." This while what I assume is the NASA exceprt is very technical and does not exress any emotion whatsoever.
Boolean search terms.
Adding the words AND, NOT, and OR into your search phrase can help widen or narrow your findings. If you want to make sure your answers bring up two different ideas or terms that are both found in the text results, you can add AND between them. If you want to broaden your search to include many different phrases you can add OR in between them. It's called a Boolean search because it was devised by George Boole.
