The correct answer is “the cough's a mere nothing; it will not kill me. I shall not die of a cough.”. Taken from the short story “<em>The Cask of Amontillado</em>” by Edgar Allan Poe (1846), the part of the excerpt mentioned above that uses irony is the one that narrates the moment when Fortunato tells Montresor that he has a cold before going down into the catacombs, but Montresor <u>already knows how Fortunato's end will be</u>. <em>Irony </em>is a figure of speech through which words are used in a way that their intended meaning is different from the actual meaning. The use of irony in this part of this excerpt can be spotted when Montresor replies, "<em>True —true.</em>" to Fortunato, since he knows it is <em>true that Fortunato shall not die of a cough</em>.
Answer:
Figurative language includes the use of figures of speech (metaphors, similes, allusions, etc.) to make the speech more effective and persuasive.
In Chapter 1 of <em>The Great Gatsby</em>, F. Scott Fitzgerald introduces the characters and the narrator, and establishes the setting. In doing so, he uses the following figures of speech:
- Hyperbole (an exaggerated statement or claim)
Jordan, while lying on the couch, says to Tom: <em>"I'm stiff. I've been lying on that sofa for as long as I can remember.
" </em>This is, of course, an exaggeration.
- Metaphor (reference to one thing/concept by mentioning another)
<em>"My own house was an eyesore, but it was a small eyesore."</em> Nick refers to his house as an eyesore (an ugly sight in a public place).
- Personification (giving human characteristics and traits to something that is not human)
<em>"The abnormal mind is quick to detect and attach itself to this quality when it appears in a normal person." </em>Nick, the narrator, personifies 'the mind', which detects certain qualities.
- Simile (comparison of two things by mentioning the similarities between them, usually through the use of words 'like' or 'as')
<em>
"Instead of being the warm center of the world, the Middle West now seemed like the ragged edge of the universe." </em>Nick is not satisfied with his home after the war, and compares it to "the ragged edge of the universe."
