Answer: A. His reputation as a deceitful person makes other disbelieve him, even though he is telling the truth.

Explanation: An irony is when an event seems contrary to what we expect. In the story Hauchecorne had a bad reputation as a dishonest person, so when Malandain blamed him for stealing a wallet, no one believed Hauchecorne when he said he didn't do it, even though he was telling the truth. That is a clear example of an irony.

I think the answer is A because the villagers only knew him as a crafty old man even though he was telling the truth. They assumed this because of past experiences.

Which choice best describes the overall structure of the author's argument about paying college student athletes?
Scrat [10]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you forgot to attach the article or the text. You also forgot to include the name of the author or the title of the article.

Without the text, we do not know what is its content. Just you know.

However, trying to offer some help, we can comment on the following.

Recently, authors have divided their opinions about the advantages or disadvantages of paying college student-athletes.

The ones who are in favor of paying athletes argue that schools receive a lot of money due to TV agreements, ticket sales, merchandising, and concessions. That is why they deserve a "slice of the pie."

On the other hand, the authors that disagree and still consider that college athletes are amateurs, support their arguments saying that they are students, and the way they are receiving compensation is through their scholarships. And these authors say that schools invest a lot of money not only in academics but in facilities and equipment to have their athletes ready to compete and win.
