English
2 answers:
erica [24]3 years ago

Answer:

B). Dramatic irony occurs because the reader knows  that Napoleon won't die-he drank too much  alcohol.

Explanation:

Irony is demonstrated as the literary device in which there is an incongruity between the expectations or the intended meaning and the reality or actual meaning of a situation.

Dramatic irony is characterized as the form of irony in which the readers or the audience possess a clear understanding of the situation(in a drama) while the characters remain unaware. Thus, there lies a contradiction in the plot.

In the given passage, Orwell employs 'dramatic irony' as there is an incongruity between the readers' and characters' understanding. The <u>readers are aware that Napoleon won't die(as he had drank alcohol excessively, nothing else) but the characters think that 'he had a terrible piece of news to impar</u>t.' Therefore, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.

Verdich [7]

Answer:

Although many still claim that evidence about year-round school and its link to higher achievement is inconclusive, studies consistently reveal that year-round students score higher on certain assessments than those students who attend schools with traditional nine-month calendars.

Explanation:

All options you were given are the following:

  • Although many still claim that evidence about year-round school and its link to higher achievement is inconclusive, studies consistently reveal that year-round students score higher on certain assessments than those students who attend schools with traditional nine-month calendars.
  • Although many still claim that evidence about year-round school and its link to higher achievement is inconclusive, this theory is wrong because students in year-round schools consistently score higher on certain assessments than those students who attend schools with traditional nine-month calendars.
  • Although many still claim that evidence about year-round school and its link to higher achievement is inconclusive, they would admit defeat if only they would do their research and find that students in year-round schools consistently score higher on certain assessments than those students who attend schools with traditional nine-month calendars.
  • Although many still claim that evidence about year-round school and its link to higher achievement is inconclusive, these people need to study their facts and acknowledge that students in year-round schools consistently score higher on certain assessments than those students who attend schools with traditional nine-month calendars.

The first option is the best one because it is completely objective. Objective statements are statements that contain only facts, statements uninfluenced by personal beliefs, emotions, and assumptions. The student uses data from some research, which makes the statement objective. The tone is also appropriate - it's neutral. Other statements lack objectiveness and their tone is not as neutral as it should be.

Is 9 greater than 2 , so 7.09 is greater than 7.2
mrs_skeptik [129]
7.09 is not greater than 7.2 because .09 is on the hundren place while .2 is on the tenth place. If you wanted to know whether 7.09 is greater 7.2, you had to move one time on the right for 7.2 and it will give you 7.20 which is now in a hundren place.
So if you look closely 7.20 will be greater than 7.09
