What situational irony occurs in “The Colomber” by Dino Buzzati¿

English
1 answer:
Mazyrski [523]3 years ago
3 0
The Situational Irony that occurred in "The Colomber" by Dino Buzzati was the fact that Stefano gave up his dream of becoming a sea captain to ensure that he will live a long life after seeing the Colomber.

It was believed that the Colomber was a harbinger of Death and that whoever sees it will be doomed for life.

However, the reason why the Colomber was after Stefano was because it was tasked to give Stefano a pearl that will give him good luck and success in life. 

It is ironic because the reason Stefano feared the Colomber was false and baseless.

Which of the following quotes contains an adverb? Select all that apply. A. Along with many of the men where he worked, Dad join
enot [183]
ANSWER: A, B, C, D

A includes an adverb of place which is "in World War 1". "World War 1" describes the verb "fight" by stating its location and is thus an adverb of place

B includes an adverb which is "usually". "usually" describes the action/verb "held" by stating how often it was "held"

C, well you know, "carefully".

D should have an adverb too if there isn't any mistake in the sentence as it has the adverb "deeply" which describes the action/verb "worried" by stating the degree of her worrying for George. NOTE: "worried" in this context is NOT an adjective

E does not have an adverb. Although it may seem like "exactly" is the adverb, "exactly" is describing "eight inches long" which is an adjective, not a verb. Therefore, there should be no adverb because the verb in this sentence, which is "said", was not described in any way.

Therefore, the answers are A, B, C and D.
I'm sorry if my answers are wrong and hopefully you can tell me why if it is...

Hope this answer helped :) Also, people should be thinking everyday, or else nothing will have meaning and our daily lives won't be able to function normally. I hope you change your mindset about that, it's really fun to learn on weekends too :)

Identify the correlative conjunction in the following sentence.
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

B. Either... or...

Explanation:

Conjunctions are words used to connect other words, phrases, or clauses. There are three main types of conjunctions:

  • Coordinating conjunctions - used to connect two elements (words/phrases/clauses) of equal grammatical rank and importance (e.g. two independent clauses).
  • Subordinating conjunctions - used to connected elements of unequal rank and importance (e.g. one independent and one subordinating clause).
  • Correlative conjunctions - used in pairs to connect elements of equal importance (e.g. <em>both/and, </em><em>either/or</em><em>, neither/nor, not/but</em>).

Based on this information, we can conclude that the correlative conjunction in the given sentence is<em> either/or. </em>
