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.

Whats a good introduction and thesis statement for a drugs essay?
AysviL [449]

one way to start off an essay correctly is to state what the problems are about the topic.

the work you way to the positive affects of the drugs.


a second way is to start with a reason as to why you are writing an essay, ((this is correct, but teachers hate it this way))


last is to ask the question back to yourself. "why are drugs good/bad" ---> "drugs are good because they affect the host and enable new possibilities, but drugs are bad because they damage the body and cause sever and possibly fatal problems."

topjm [15]

Read this paragraph: The exhibit models, their accompanying text, and the overall layout of the Rose Center organized the principal contents of the solar system by objects of like properties, rather than as enumerations of planets and their moons. This decision landed Pluto among the growing number of icy objects found beyond Neptune, and left it unmentioned and out of view among our models for the rocky, terrestrial objects (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) and the gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune). By this organization, we practically abandoned the concept of planet altogether. Neil deGrasse Tyson, The Pluto Files What is the main idea of this paragraph?

A.The exhibit at the Hayden Planetarium didn't classify Pluto the same way it classified other planets.

B. Pluto was considered just another icy object that was found in abundance in the solar system.

C. Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are considered rocky, terrestrial objects instead of planets.

D. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are filled with gas and are therefore considered gas giants.

Answer:    

A.The exhibit at the Hayden Planetarium didn't classify Pluto the same way it classified other planets.

Explanation:

The main idea of a paragraph is the theme or the main idea that is passed across in a literary work or writing.

The main idea of the paragraph is the option A because the central theme or message it is passing across in the entire paragraph is that the exhibition at Hayden Planetarium classified Pluto differently from other planets.

It was mentioned that the exhibit models were arranged a properties instead of enumerations of planets and this decision made Pluto different from others.
