aren't sufficiently brief.

Answer: Run longer than the meetings.

Explanation: <u>Verbal</u> <u>Irony</u> occurs when a speaker or writer speaks a statement with the intention of contradicting its literal meaning. In other words, it happens when the character speaks contraditory of what he initially intended to say. It is common in everyday speeches, plays, novels, poetry and is usually used as sarcasm. When properly used, authors can transmit their thoughts in a less bitter and more effective way.

Therefore for the phrase, the sentence that best support the meaning of Verbal Irony is: "run longer than the meetings", which also indicates the sarcasm of the situation, minimizing the bitterness of the comment.

In the story, Phoebe considers herself American while her grandfather views her as Greek. What contributes to how someone views
prisoha [69]

According to a different source, this question refers to the story "Blue-Sky Home" by Lisa Papademetriou.

In this story, Phoebe is half-Greek, but she was born in America, and she does not consider herself to be Greek. However, her grandfather considers her to be Greek. The main factor in this is the fact that Phoebe is not acquainted with Greek culture. What contributes the most to how someone views himself is the cultural practices that they grew up with. If someone follows particular culinary or religious practices and celebrates traditional holidays, it is more likely that the person will feel identified with that culture. Other factors can include being fluent in the language of the place, or visiting this country regularly.
