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.

Answer:

The correct answer is: Metaphor.

Explanation:

A metaphor is a figue of speech used to create a non-literal comparison between two things. This means that the two objects that are compared are unrelated but still share common characteristics.

Unlike the simile, the metaphor does not use any connectors between the elements that it compares, rather it says that something <em>is </em>something else.

Cameron told Amanda the first rule of an interview is to make the other person feel comfortable. The second rule is to ask open questions, the kind that requires more than a "yes" or "no" answer.

When we read about prehistoric people, most of it is about cave men. There isn’t much about cave women. Most of us think of preh
nalin [4]
The main idea of the paragraph is that women should be credited for much more during the prehistoric times that they are at the moment. We only get the picture of them being rather irrelevant at the time which is obviously not true, based on this excerpt. The paragraph is quite feminist, meaning that it is shedding light on actual history and the role of women in such a society which not much is spoken about in contemporary analyses. 
They were the ones who invented gardening, as well as pottery and weaving. The reason why they did this was because they often stayed 'at home' taking care of children, so they had time to do other things as well, while men were out hunting and providing for the family in other ways. Thus we have solid proof that women were far more creative and responsible for various things than they are credited for now.
