Answer:

parentheses

Explanation:

Parenthetical expressions are words, phrases or clauses which are inserted within another phrase. The sentence or clause is complete without parenthetical expressions. Parenthetical expressions are inserted by punctuation marks such as commas, round brackets (parentheses), and dashes.  

Dashes are used to emphasize interruptions while <u>parentheses are used to set off and de-emphasize interruptions.  </u>

8090 [49]

The correct answer would be C. Between classes, during lunch, and sometimes on the bus.

The passage clearly states that cell phones must be in their lockers or vehicles, so cell phones cannot be used during class. It also states that cell phone use is acceptable if it does not distract others or affect their punctuality.

Lastly, the passage states the cell phone use on the bus is determined by the bus driver, so you would be able to sometimes use your phone on the bus.

Hope this helps!

In two or three sentences, explain what dramatic irony is and in what way Ulysses’ entering his own palace as a beggar is an exa
pishuonlain [190]

Answer and Explanation:

<u>Dramatic irony is related to a situation in which the audience knows and understands something that the characters themselves don't.</u> In the epic poem "The Odyssey", the main character and hero Odysseus finally arrives home after years journeying back from the war in Troy, but his palace has been taken over by suitors trying to marry his wife. Odysseus is then disguised as a beggar by the goddess Athena.<u> This is an example of dramatic irony because no one knows that beggar is in fact the owner of that palace, not even his own son and wife. Odysseus, a wealthy, brave man appears to the characters completely changed when it comes to his looks. But his heart and mind are the same, and he soon claims his island and family back</u>.

Note: Since you only need two or three sentences, feel free to ignore or change the summary in the middle of the answer.
