Answer:

The use of words in writing or saying that is the opposite of what is really meant is known as verbal irony.

Explanation:

Verbal irony is when someone says or writes something but she meant just the opposite of what is really written or said, meaning the opposite of the literal word. It is employed by many writers in their literary works.

Examples may be like when someone has a bad day but then says "her day is definitely going great"

or when the place is messy or congested but then people say "you deserve an award for cleanliness"

or claiming the weather is perfect when in reality it is really raining cats and dogs.

Anthony is taking Denise for a ride in his new car. He moves fast down the highway. Suddenly Denise says, “Look out!” A truck moves into their lane, right in front of them.

An idea explored about women's rights in "Women Who Spoke Up", in your own words. Explain in 5-10 sentences. Short answer

Ann [662]

Answer and Explanation:

The text presents the idea that women were created to be kept silent and to have influences only inside their homes. This was done to leave women in a captive situation, as the world did not offer the rights and resources for them to get rid of these so limiting roles, but women knew their values and started to face society and demand that they be heard and attended to. because they were deserving of rights and respect and that is why they used their voices, even against the majority of the population and fought for what they knew they should have.

Read the excerpt below from A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf and answer the question that follows.

lidiya [134]

This is the correct statement:

Women who read and wrote too often were cast out of the home.

Explanation:

A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf is one of the markedly feminist tracts of all time and it asserts an important point through the existence of this fictional sister of Shakespeare by asserting a fact.

It is that the women were simply not allowed to read and write in his time and no matter how hard she would have tried she would not have amounted to much in her life.

The system was against her education and her pursuit of a career thus.
