Answer:
In a flashback, Dana describes the first time she met Kevin, at which time she was working various low-wage jobs during the day and writing her novel at night. The irony of referring to these jobs as a "slave market" is both verbal and situational. Verbal irony is when words are used to convey the opposite of the literal meaning. Dana and her coworkers refer to their jobs as a "slave market" to express their discontent with the physical nature of the work and the low wages. However, the fact that they are paid for their work supports the opposite fact—this is far from slavery. Even Dana says, "Actually, it was just the opposite of slavery. The people who ran it couldn't have cared less whether or not you showed up to do the work they offered." Situational irony is when there is a disconnect between what a person expects to happen and what actually does happen. The situational irony is that Dana, a free, modern black woman, expects to remain as such. When she is cast back in time and forced to survive real slavery, she witnesses the slave market in its full meaning.

Answer:
1. Two conclusion that one can take away from the article are:
First: the writer of the article, Charles M. Blow, seized the opportunity of the racially insensitive comments on the <em>Patriach show</em> by Phil Robertson to take and reinforce a strong position against racially insensitive, unconcerned and homophobic comments.
Second: According to the article, if Robertson were to be charged to court for uttering racially insensitive comments, it is possible for him to argue ignorance of the historical resonance and logical improbability of his comments. Charles thinks that, regardless, that is not a reasonable excuse to makes such comments especially given his age and the probability that he should have understood the import of his statements.
2. I do believe that the authors posits clearly that Robertson's attitude towards blacks contributes to human suffering. Take for instance him this excerpt from the third paragraph of his article:
<em>"Robertson’s interview reads as a commentary almost without malice, imbued with a matter-of-fact, this-is-just-the-way-I-see-it kind of Southern folksiness. </em><em>To me, that is part of the problem. You don’t have to operate with a malicious spirit to do tremendous harm. Insensitivity and ignorance are sufficient. In fact, intolerance that is disarming is the most dangerous kind</em><em>.</em>"
Another section of the article that supports this position is drawn from the eight paragraph: "<em>Robertson is 67 years old, born into the Jim Crow South. </em><em>Only a man blind and naïve to the suffering of others could have existed there and not recognized that there was a rampant culture of violence against blacks</em><em>, with incidents and signs large and small, at every turn, on full display.</em>"

"A. You stayed up late last night; hence, you are sleepy today" since technically "hence" should start a new phrase and be followed by a comma. Although the comma is not absolutely crucial.
