The correct answer should be letter (D.) <span>imagery.

Imagery is a type of literary device used to narrate events using descriptive words to engage visualization to the readers. It is an effective tool in literary works because it helps readers analyze the ideas presented by the writer in the most creative way possible.</span>

Answer:

The correct option is letter B (IRONY).

Explanation:

In "To Build a Fire" by Jack London, the author uses many instances of irony (situational irony). When the man, after having fallen into the water, finally succeeds in getting the fire on, the snow falls from the tree over him and the fire. As a result, the fire dies.

However, this instance of situational irony helps the plot move because he has to start a new fire.

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

हाँ, आज के समाज में वृद्धाश्रम की आवश्यकता है। यह कई कारणों से है। एक कारण यह है कि बड़े हो चुके बच्चे कभी-कभी अपने बूढ़े माता-पिता को प्रताड़ित करते हैं। उन्हें लगता है कि वे बड़े हो गए हैं और उन्हें अब उनकी आवश्यकता नहीं है। उन्हें भी पीटा और घरों से बाहर निकाल दिया।

इसलिए उनके पास कोई जगह नहीं है। वृद्धाश्रम एकमात्र विकल्प है जो उनके पास है। इसलिए आज के समाज में वृद्धाश्रम की आवश्यकता है।

Hope this helps
