English

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.

Answer:

Mechanics, each one singing his as it should be, blithe and strong

An adjective is a part of speech that is used to describe a noun or a pronoun in a sentence.

Therefore, the texts in the passage from "I Hear America Singing" by Walt Whitman that uses adjectives to enhance the effects of parallelism are "Mechanics, each one singing his as it should be, blithe and strong

•Young fellows, robust, friendly"
