Answer:

When a story turns out differently from the reader’s expectations, it is an example of situational irony.

Explanation:

Situational irony is a literary device consisting of leading the reader to believe a certain event / ending will take place and then unexpectedly changing the outcome. In Kate Chopin's short story "The Story of an Hour", there are two great moments of situational irony. First, the reader is led to believe that Mrs. Mallard is going to grieve her husband's death. However, the story takes an unexpected turn as she realizes, happily, that she is finally a free woman. Even though she loved him, she is now free to make her own decisions and to answer to nobody but herself. From there, readers are led to believe the story will end with Mrs. Mallard living a new, happy, independent life, only to be deeply surprised. It turns out that her husband never died and, as he walks through the door, Mrs. Mallard dies - she has a heart condition. Both times, the author misled readers into believing something, only to give them a different outcome.

Nataliya [291]

Examples are used to "exemplify" a situation. Hence, we take an abstract theory and we make it more approachable by showcasing some details. Hence, we have that the example makes abstract idea more concrete. The first 2 choices are wrong since they state the opposite. The 3rd choice is rather irrelevant, examples can make it more or less didactic. Hence, the 4th choice is correct.

In _____, people learn to associate a neutral stimulus with a meaningful one, gradually responding to the neutral stimulus in th

Levart [38]

Answer:

Classical conditioning.

Explanation:

Classical conditioning introduced by Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov, (26 September 1849 – 27 February 1936) in 1897, comprises a learning procedure that conditions a certain response from a subject. Two types of stimuli are used in the classical conditioning: and meaningful (potent) and neutral.

For example, door bell (neutral stimulus) that Mike hears already makes him to drool because, he knows that it is a pizza delivery guy is ringing the bell and soon Mike will eat his favourite pizza. Earlier, only the appearance and smell of pizza (meaningful stimulus) made Mike to drool. This situation can be recreated in the experimental environment to prove classical conditioning.
