The correct answer is respite care.
Respite care refers to care and services of support provided to caretakers of individuals with disabilities, illness or the elderly. Through respite care, caretakers are given a temporary break and relieved from the duties and responsibility of having to look after a disabled or dependent individual. Respite care is important because caretakers are constantly in a role where they have to compromise and sometimes forgo their own needs and wishes in order to look after someone who needs constant care.
Answer/Explanation:
The author wishes to use irony to communicate disapproval in bad weather. Which choice best meets this goal? According to the weather station, you should expect rain, granular and a variety of small pets to come down from the sky later this afternoon. Well, it's not just a lovely prediction.
Irony is a picture of language used when it tries to create a non literal truth of the facts.
Thus, the author uses a very ironic form or last fact found in the statement.
