Answer: B. Irony.

Explanation: an irony is a statement or situation that seems contradictory. In literature there are three main types of irony: verbal irony, situational irony and dramatic irony. Verbal irony is when words express something contrary to truth or someone says the opposite of what they really feel or mean (it is often sarcasm). Situational irony is when what happens is different from what is expected to happen. Dramatical irony is when the audience knows something that the characters don't know. Irony is used to make surprising, interesting, or amusing contradictions in a literary work.

mars1129 [50]

Subordination in grammar refers to the process by which we link two clauses inside a sentence making one dependent on the other. It's constructed by a main<u> or independent clause, and a subordinated clause</u> that is attached to it by an adverb or an adjective.

Here are a few examples:

"While Bobby was in school, his dad prepared lunch in the house" (adverbial subordinate clause)

"All the pets jumped around with joy when Bobby got back home" (adverbial subordinate clause)

"Bobby, who was the best student, always got to pick dessert" (adjectival subordinate clause)

"They lived in his grandma's house, which she had built with her own hands" (adjectival subordinate clause)

how has America changed over the years? cite evidence from this text your own experience and other literature art or history in
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer and Explanation:

According to the reading of the text, we can see some changes that America has witnessed over the years, the first change, shown by the author is the change from a colonial America, to the USA. This is shown right at the beginning of the text, where the author states that the Americans fought for freedom when they realized that ingrlaterra established an abusive relationship with the colonies. Regarding this change, the author states: "Feeling themselves harshly and unjustly treated by the home government, your fathers, like men of honesty, and men of spirit, earnestly sought redress. They petitioned and remonstrated; they did so in a decorous, respectful , and loyal manner. Their conduct was wholly unexceptionable. This, however, did not answer the purpose. "

A second change that we can see in the text is related to the US military power. Currently, we know that the USA is a great military power, but the author shows us that this was already very different and that the USA was already a very weak country militarily. This can be seen in the lines: "The country was poor in the munitions of war. The population was weak and scattered, and the country a wilderness unsubdued."

As the text progresses, we can see that the author reflects on the celebration of freedom in a country where the freedom of African American citizens is limited. Unfortunately, we cannot say that this has changed in the USA over time, since we can see that even today blacks are deprived of the rights to freedom and prosperity in the country.

Crabs dig holes according to the size of their shells personal statement ​
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

this is the answer

Explanation:

In James Alan McPherson's essay “Crabs Dig Holes According to the Size of Their Shells”, he states that “something is owed to the stranger, any stranger, who seems to be in trouble. This something owed is impersonal, no more than an expression of good manners” (McPherson, 60-63).

The correct answer is B, because "who all students love" should definitely follow Mr. Rapture, and not "chemistry lab" like in A, and there should be a comma because this is an appositive.
