Answer:
The irony is in saying that seeing a dog wearing pants (parody of breeches) was an uplifting or edifying sight which is really not true and which is comical when visualized.
Explanation:
An irony is expressing ones thoughts in words that mean the opposite to achieve humor. The narrator in this instance was looking down on the fireman by comparing him to a dog wearing pants and a feather hat.
He thus compared him to an animal and in the same instance, said that it was an edifying sight. He also called him a fine chap in the same breath. This is quite contradictory and that is how he achieved the use of irony in those lines.
Hello!
The effects of using the figurative language that is described in the story are:
By speculating about his genetic makeup, the author conveys a contemplative tone.
By referencing his persistence, the author conveys a proud tone
By describing the differences between a terrier and a spaniel, the author implies an ironic tone.
Argument:
The author tends to use plenty of metaphors and similes with a tendency of contradiction. For example, when the author compares a spaniel and a terrier gives the reader a metaphor of how different these races are between each other but at the same time, he shows how valuable is Nibble, the mongrel dog.
The correct answer is the word 'just'.
Adverbs are words or phrases that modify or change the verb, adjective, determiner, noun phrase, sentence or clause they refer to. Adverbs usually express frequency, degree, level of certainty, time, manner or place and answer questions like "in what way?", "to what extent" etc. It is noted by modern linguists that adverbs tend not to fall under any other word category. In this case 'The' and 'a' are determiners; 'king' and 'ruler' are nouns; 'is' is a verb and 'just' is an adverb.
