Excerpt from Tom Sawyer

English
1 answer:

The statement that best expresses the irony present in the mentioned passage is:

“It is ironic that Aunt Polly is so strict outwardly with Tom and so tender-hearted toward him inwardly”.

Explanation:

The passage describes how Aunt Polly tries to find him in the house from every nook and corner of the house, and once she finds Tom she tries to curb him, but Tom, using his mind tac-tics, outsmarts her and gets a chance to run away from her.

This amuses Aunt Polly as she realizes how Tom always uses the same tricks on her but she never learns from them. This softens her heart as she realizes that children shall be children and that too her own dead sister’s son. She ponders how she needs to look out for him.

This shows that even though she may be strict with Tom from the outside, inwardly she cares and looks out for him.

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

It is a funny way of pointing out that Stanley and Elya are clearly not living at the same time.

Explanation:

This is the excerpt from Louis Sachar's novel "Holes". He is famous children and young adults author.

Now, regarding this excerpt, it is quite obvious that Elya is Stanley's great-great-grandfather and, of course, there was no way Elya, at the time, could have known that he's going to have a great-great-grandson, let alone some detailed information.

This makes that line rather unnecessary. But it also can suggest that its only purpose is comedic effect by stating an obvious thing.

Explain the quote- "The oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown."
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Not 100% sure but here are my thoughts...

Explanation:

Fear of the unknown leaves people feeling vulnerable. There is really no way to plan and prepare for the unknown. No date and time of when and where an event could happen. People are forced to just let it occur. They have no control and that can scare people especially as they are subjected to this event without any sort of prior knowledge or warning.
