B. King Duncan thinks Macbeth is a good and virtuous man, when in reality, Macbeth is plotting his murder. ((APEX))

Answer: B. King Duncan thinks Macbeth is good and virtuous man, when in reality Macbeth is plotting his murder.

Irony occurs when a character believes something that is the complete opposite of reality. For irony to work in a play, the audience usually has to have more information that the characters. In this case, the audience knows that Macbeth is planning the murder of King Duncan. However, the audience also knows that King Duncan believes Macbeth to be a good and virtuous man. This contradiction is an example of irony in the play.

Using the best thesis statement listed below to compose an outline with three major supporting details and two minor supporting
FinnZ [79.3K]

A thesis statement should tell the reader what the paper is about and also help guide the writing and keep the argument focused. In this paragraph, the best thesis statement is, "Time Management will give you the opportunity to have a non-complicated in your life, focusing on your life."

Thesis: "Time Management will give you the opportunity to have a non-complicated in your life, focusing on your life."

1. No worries

  • Get a good night's sleep
  • Start the day with vitality

2. Have set goals

  • daily schedule- respect time frames for each activity
  • not in a hurry

3. Planning

  • Can check your goals in writing
  • Able to add reminders to keep on with the goals' accomplishment

The paragraph is short, so the main points made are the three major supporting details. Then, using additional points from the paragraph, you can find minor supporting detail for each major supporting detail. The answer could vary slightly depending on one's interpretation of what is the most important in the paragraph, but generally these are the main ideas.

Note: I believe there may be a word missing in the thesis or the first sentence of the paragraph, after non-complicated and before in.
