Anettt [7]3 years ago

<u>Answer:</u>

Option B. A tow truck sits stranded on the side of the road with a flat tire is irony.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Irony is a rhetorical device employed by writers or speakers to present a situation where contrary results of what is expected are obtained resulting in wry humour.

A tow truck is a vehicle provided with special equipment to pull damaged , illegally parked, or immovable vehicles in need of help to be either disposed of or dragged  to a place where they  can be repaired.  It is expected to be a savior carrying immobile vehicles to their destination which is most often a repair shop.

In the given situation, the tow truck is itself not able to ply on the road and is helplessly stranded on the roadside due to a flat tyre.  It is contrary to what is expected and is consequently amusing.  This is an example of irony.

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Elizabeth Cady Stanton was an American suffragette and civil rights activist. She was a champion of women's suffrage in the United States.

After school, Elizabeth became involved in the abolitionist movement. In this movement, she was introduced to her husband, Henry Brewster Stanton, a journalist and later lawyer. They married in 1840 and had six children.  

In 1848, tired of her life as a housewife, Cady Stanton organized a first convention on women's rights: the Seneca Falls Convention. At this convention she presented her Declaration of Sentiments, a document in which she defends equality between men and women. This convention and the Declaration were the starting signal for the feminist movement in America. In 1851, she met Susan B. Anthony, another prominent suffragette. The two would remain lifelong friends and work together for women's suffrage.  

In 1881 Cady Stanton co-wrote The history of woman suffrage, a four-volume work on the history of the emancipation struggle. In 1888 she co-founded the International Women's Council, an organization that still exists.  Elizabeth Cady Stanton died in her New York home in October 1902.
