Which scenarios are examples of verbal irony? Select two options. Your best friend is concerned that you are not feeling well. “

You sound like you’ve nearly lost your voice,” she says. After finally finishing your paper for history, you drop it in a puddle of water. “Oh great! That is just what I need!” you exclaim. You are at the zoo when it starts to rain, and the elephants emerge from their stall. “The elephants seem to love the rain,” you say. Your mom comes into your room and sees clothes strewn on the floor. “I think you’re going to win an award for cleanliness,” she says. You explain to your little brother why you know that Romeo and Juliet will not turn out well. “It says at the beginning that they are star-crossed lovers.”

Verbal irony is the use of words that express one thing with the intention of expressing the opposite.

In the options that were given, we can see examples of verbal irony in the following cases:

After finally finishing your paper for history, you drop it in a puddle of water. “Oh great! That is just what I need!” you exclaim.

and

Your mom comes into your room and sees clothes strewn on the floor. “I think you’re going to win an award for cleanliness,” she says.


In both cases, the person means the opposite of what they said. You don't really believe the paper falling in a puddle of water is something good, as well as your mother doesn't really think your room is clean.

I'm starting a clothing brand, how should I start making shirts? Where do I start? Right now I'm making an insta account, and so
enyata [817]

Answer:

First start simple especially if you don't have anyone working for you yet, sell to family and some friends. Next you want to start out selling to family and friends like I said before, if you start to big you wont be able to supply the demand, I call this the suppliers flow, know how much you are making and how much you can sell your merchandise for . Then be able to make a profit off your clothing, you wont make any money if you sell them for how much you make them for. Social media is a great starter, websites are more for production lines but its your call. You can buy a printer if you want but if not you can probably find someone that knows how to print shirts.

Explanation:

I hope this helps, and good luck selling I hope you enjoy production as it is very fun once you get big and selling a lot.

Please help my son has to use all these words in a short story it’s okay if he leaves out 2 or three words need done today thank
Alona [7]
I sat on my couch, staring at the ceiling, eating protein bar number eighteen for the day. I have been eating them at my leisure, rather than actually to receive protein. I looked at the floor. It was rather messy. This is why I don't let my neighbor, John, over often. He doesn't act very neighborly as far as neighbors go. He likes to attempt to decieve me and steal my stuff. He's not very good at being decitful, though, and just makes a mess. I finish my protein par and stand up, throwing it away. I bought them in an attempt to lose weight and to only eat them before working out, but I have neither worked out nor only eaten them beforehand.
I decide to go over to John's even though he'll probably even steal the old reciept in my pocket from when I went to McDonald's about a week ago. Either way, I walk out of my apartment with my hands in my pockets go go to his house. When I get there, I see a sleigh in his backyard. That's right. A sleigh. In the middle of June. I knock on his door and he comes out holding a model freight train in his left hand and a soda in the other. I look at him, confused. 
"Why is there a sleigh in your yard?" I ask, but the way I ask it is not exactly a question but more of a 'what the heck'. 
He gives me a conceited smirk. "That, my dear Caleb," he says, walking around his house and to the sleigh, "is a present for my granddad's eightieth birthday."
I had followed him and look at it. "Isn't he, like, dead?" I question, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes. Yes, he is." John responded, shoving his model train in his hoodie pocket.
I look up at the giant sleigh before me, then back at him. "How did you even get that here, doesn't it weigh, like, a lot?"
"Nahhh, it's, like, featherweight." He responded with either pride or confusion. It was hard to tell with him. 
"I don't think that word means what you think it means."
He shrugs and walks inside, me following. I widen my eyes. There is an enormous blow-up snowman right in his kitchen. It bends down because it's height compared to the kitchen ceiling is about two to one, it being bent in the middle.
"What..." I can't even see him past the hugeness of the snowman.
"His name is Gerald." I hear John's voice from the other room.
I duck under, uh, 'Gerald' and into his living room which is filled with things that were probably stolen. He is a bit of a kleptomaniac. 
He smiles at me. I smile back. This is how are friendship has been for the past few years we've known eachother. A lot of me in wonder at his insane ability to have everything and him just smiling. This is how I like it. This is how I want it to be forever. (end)
So, after quite a lot of writing and thinking, I've come up with this. I hope this helps! I used all of the words even though you said I could leave out a few, so enjoy!

Imagine, and describe, what you think the world would look or be like if everyone was literally the same. What would be the effe
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

If everyone was the same then we would probably get on well. We would all have the same opinions so people wouldn't argue with each other but also if everyone was the same then we wouldn't grow as people or as a human race

It is because of our diversity that we are where we are today. If we didn't have that then we would probably be very behind as a society but relationships would thrive.
