The correct answer is <span>He is very careful and loving, and hardly lets me stir without special direction.

The final part of the sentence points out that he's not actually careful and loving but rather quite bothersome and nags all the time. This is what verbal irony is actually, meaning the opposite of what is said. </span>

The answer is D because in it, it has two contradicting facts supporting each other, thus the irony.

How does O. Henry's use of third-person narration in "After Twenty Years" affect the story?
Bad White [126]
The use of third person narration allows the author to tell the story from the perspective of what is seen and done and not what the character think or thought. This narration style helped the author to effectively handle the surprise climax at the end of the story.

In act 4 scene 4, what conclusion does hamlet reach over the course of this speech
pochemuha
<span>Hamlet is still wondering why he has been procrastinating about doing what he knows is his duty, which is to assassinate Claudius and avenge his father's murder. Shakespeare seems to be taking great pains to emphasize that this is the main problem of the play, but he does not offer any definite answer. Therefore, critics have been speculating and debating for centuries about the so-called Hamlet Problem. The fact that Hamlet ends his soliloquy in Act 4, Scene 4 with the words, "O, from this time forth, / My thoughts be bloody, or be nothing worth!" is not convincing. He may have another opportunity to kill Claudius, as he had when he found the King alone and praying, and he may find some reason or reasons for failing to act. Characteristically, he only acts impulsively, when he doesn't have time to think. But thinking is his normal mode. It has been reinforced by many years of deep, solitary study at Wittenberg.</span>

iren2701 [21]
The car is a symbol of a new beginning and also the prospect of filling in the shoes of someone important and responsible. They backed up their car with extreme car and caution which is very similar to how they unpacked and moved into their home on the Sullivan Farm. The family wants everything to go perfectly.
