Answer:

c. irony

Explanation:

Irony is a literary device that you can identify when there is a discrepancy between what is said and what is meant, or when the outcome of a story, or statement, is opposite to what you expected; this outcome tends to be tragic or humorous, and it tends to catch our attention, makes the story memorable and helps us think about the theme (the central message) of the literary work.

This is the literary device being used in the passage provided: Veronica did her best to stay healthy during her vacation, however, despite her effort, she got sick the next day she arrived to the hotel! The outcome of this story turned out to be a funny one and just the opposite to what was expected.

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

Discuss how respnd to the new taxes

Explanation:

The colonial representatives met shortly after the British Crown had imposed many new taxes on the American Colonies, including the stamp tax. The Crown had also limited the degree of autonomy that the Colonies enjoyed, something that enraged the colonists, because they were used to a form of government that was almost fully independent of the government of Britain.

These meetings (called continental congress) would finally result in the Declaration of Independence and the start of the American Revolutionary War.
