iragen [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The children arrived first for the lottery.

Explanation:

An irony is a literary device and figure of speech in which words give a direct opposite meaning from the intended meaning.

From the excerpt, we see that the main theme was referring to "school". Therefore, children couldn't be first for the lottery, which is ironic.

Answer: The right answer is the A) With their hard work, these individuals had invested in their country and they deserved to be suitably rewarded.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that this song, which E.Y. "Yip" Harburg co-authored in 1932, became very representative of the Great Depression. “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?” was a legitimate question because it was asked by hardworking and decent individuals who had contributed to the progress of the country, and all of the sudden found themselves unemployed and unable to provide for themselves and for their families.
