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.

Answer:

I was on my way to visit a friend because he had been feeling low lately. On my way, I met a small girl who was begging on the side of the road, asking for food as she hadn't eaten for some days. Since I was in a hurry, I did not stop to help. And because of that, I had this feeling of guilt the whole day, wondering if anyone had helped and why I had ignored her. Consequently, I made up my mind that I will always be sure to help anyone in need who needs help however much I can.

Explanation:

Transition words of cause and effect relationships are the words that act as the transition from one side to another. They act as the 'glue' to put the two sides of the argument together. A paragraph with 3-5 sentences containing such transition words of cause and effect are as follows-
