D. Bierce was a fanatic when it came to plot development. Especially if it makes you feel uncomfortable.
NISA [10]4 years ago

Answer: I would contend that the right answer is the D) To develop the plot.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can also be added that in this short story, American writer, and Civil War veteran, Ambrose Bierce relied on a far from traditional narrative technique known as "stream of consciousness," which provides the reader with an original and engaging reading experience. Instead of using a sequential, chronological, and rational order, the events are primarily narrated as they were experienced by the character in his mind, and regardless of whether they really happened or not. After describing the setting of the execution, the narrator uses a flashback in order to tell the reader more about the character who is about to be executed, and he then returns to the present, making the reader believe that the character has escaped, and describing his return, only to conclude by saying that it was all product of his imagination.

Read this example:
tankabanditka [31]

The correct answer is option B. "The author should provide more information about the person quoted". In this example the author is citing "Donald Begha" to state that texting while driving is almost as dangerous as drinking and driving because of the number of auto accidents that they cause. Since the author is using an important statement it would be useful to give more information about "Donald Begha" and how it is an authorized person to make the statement.

Different types of irony
Reil [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is: situational, dramatic and verbal irony.

Explanation:

The irony is a literary device we use to express certain meanings by using language that signifies the opposite, to indicate a higher negative implication through the positive wording.

There are three types of irony: dramatic, situational, and verbal.

Dramatic irony represents the situation when the audience understands what is happening in a certain situation better than the characters. The best example of this type of irony can be found in Shakespeare's <em>Romeo and Juliet</em> when Romeo dies because he believes Juliet is dead.

Situational irony occurs when some action has the opposite result from what is expected.

For example:

John realizes it's his wife's birthday. He goes to buy her a present, and after buying it, he realizes the birthday was three days ago.

Verbal irony occurs when the speaker says the opposite of what he/she thinks.

For example:

The cousin you hate is coming to see you and you are saying: <em>What a nice surprise</em>!
