Tuesday, March 21—Tonight, a severe storm system is moving through parts of Kansas. It will bring a threat of hail and possible
tornadoes with it. The storms should shift to the east on Thursday night leaving sunny skies and no rain on Friday throughout most of Kansas. Malerie lives in Kansas. Her dad has promised to build her a tree house. Based on the weather alert, the reader can tell that
A.
Friday is the best day for Malerie's dad to work on the tree house.
B.
Next week is best for Malerie's dad to work on the tree house.
C.
Thursday is the best day for Malerie's dad to start building the tree house.
D.
Wednesday is the best day for Malerie's dad to work on the tree house.
Look carefully back at the weather alert. Working outside during severe weather is not safe. It would be best for Malorie's dad to work on the tree house when the severe weather threat is gone and when it is not raining. The alert says that a severe storm system is forecasted for Tuesday through Thursday night and that drier weather is expected for Friday. It does not tell the reader what the weather is expected to be like for the following week.
<span>This is situational irony so the answer is B. Verbal would be if there was sarcasm involved since verbal means that you mean opposite of what you say. Situational is when one thing is expected and another thing occurs. Dramatic is when the characters don't know what is happening but the audience does.</span>
