In the story ''Lamb to the slaughter'', what is the irony in the officer saying, ''Probably right under our noses..''?

English
1 answer:
Ray Of Light [21]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

The officer is supposed to find the criminal.  That is (technically) his job. A detective does more in the searching part, though.

Also, a "lamb to the slaughter" means that some prey (lamb) is going to immediately get killed/ slaughtered.  Assuming that the criminal is the "lamb" and the "killer" is the officer, the irony is that the officer can not kill the criminal.  That the criminal isn't exactly the prey and isn't "sent out to die" .

Why are “free-floaters” important to the mind maps method of reading actively?
Harlamova29_29 [7]
<span>B.because some subordinate ideas are important and must be indicated with free-floaters
</span><span>
Sometimes different notes and ideas are important to the overall topic, but they are not directly related to your main mind map. Having free floaters will help keep track of ideas that might not feel like they're major, but looking through at the end of the passage, chapter, or novel might connect all together as important subordinate ideas.</span>

Read the passage from chapter 17 of the prince. Nevertheless
Marysya12 [62]

The impact that the words <em>feared</em> and <em>hatred </em>in the chapter 17 of The Prince have on the meaning of the passage is that they suggest that a ruler who is feared can retain power, while a ruler who is hated is less likely to do so.

In this chapter, Machiavelli establishes an important distinction between 'feared' and 'hatred'. The author argues that a prince should make himself feared by the masses but not hated. Moreover,<u> he states that one way of avoid being hatred is leaving his citizens' property intact</u>. According to Machiavelli, it is important to avoid being hatred because, unlike being feared, <u>a hated prince is more likely to lose his power due to the angry masses</u>.

A travel magazine has asked its readers to send in articles describing what their ideal holiday destination would be.Write your
mariarad [96]

Answer:

I would choose Hawaii which is in the Pacific Ocean because pictures from the islands look like it is enjoyable and has a lot of things to do. It looks beautiful and the ocean is clear and warm. It is not disgusting like other beaches in the world.

In Hawaii u can see and do a lot. One of the many things is seeing views like the mountains. You can hike on them and look at the beautiful landscape at the top. You also can do any water games like water skiing and if you fall off, it wouldn’t be cold because the ocean is so warm.

Some of the accommodations are the enjoyable beach houses that are on the beach so all you have to do is walk out the backyard to get to the beach. They have restaurants that have tropical drinks that make it even better. They have resorts that have rides and water games.

Out of all the islands of Hawaii I would choose Hawaii to visit because it has the most tourist attraction and best activities. Hawaii also is the biggest and has the best views of volcanoes and mountains to see. Hawaii also has better restaurants and resorts that you can go to and see.
