Answer:

The heading that best confirms her prediction is C. Exercise and Relaxation.

Explanation:

It is common for readers to make predictions about the text they are going to read based on information previously collected. Reading the headline and skimming the text for some cue words help indicate the path the author has likely followed. <u>Suppose Marissa knows the text is about firefighter, either because she skimmed it or because someone told her so. If she reads the headline "Exercise and Relaxation", she will probably predict the text is not about what firefighters do while helping in an emergency, but about what they do on their free time.</u>

The other options wouldn't lead her prediction down the same path. "Ranks and Insignia" could be about hierarchy and medals/prizes for performing well; Essential Equipment would inform readers on what objects are necessary for a firefighter to do his job; Types of Trucks, as the headline says, would discuss the different types of firetrucks, their advantages and disadvantages. To lead someone to predict the text will address what firefighters do when there is not an emergency, the best option is really "Exercise and Relaxation".

Why is the name "Ship-Trap Island" in the short story "The Most Dangerous Game" ironic?
lesya [120]

There's three different types of irony:

situational irony- an unexpected twist occurs at the end of the story

verbal irony- sarcasm

dramatic irony- the reader knows something that one of the characters do not


I would say that the name "Ship-Trap Island" is dramatic irony because the reader can infer that the main character will be trapped on an island, but the main character has no idea that he will soon be trapped on the island and hunted.

B. To prompt a discussion about whether the colonies should declare independence from Britain

C. To justify the decision to reject Britain's leadership and create a new government

D. To plead with King George to give the colonists a chance to form their

own government

Answer:

C. To justify the decision to reject Britain's leadership and create a new government

Explanation:

The Declaration of Independence is a document in which the Thirteen American colonies unanimously declared their independence from Britain for repeatedly violating their rights. In fact, the document has a long list portraying how the British Crown has abused from its power.

Following Enlightenment ideas, the American colonies believed that they had the right to throw off the British government because it had failed to protect their unalienable rights of “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” The excerpt provided justifies the decision to reject Britain's leadership and create a new government.
