Different types of irony

English
1 answer:
Reil [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The correct answer is: situational, dramatic and verbal irony.

Explanation:

The irony is a literary device we use to express certain meanings by using language that signifies the opposite, to indicate a higher negative implication through the positive wording.

There are three types of irony: dramatic, situational, and verbal.

Dramatic irony represents the situation when the audience understands what is happening in a certain situation better than the characters. The best example of this type of irony can be found in Shakespeare's <em>Romeo and Juliet</em> when Romeo dies because he believes Juliet is dead.

Situational irony occurs when some action has the opposite result from what is expected.

For example:

John realizes it's his wife's birthday. He goes to buy her a present, and after buying it, he realizes the birthday was three days ago.

Verbal irony occurs when the speaker says the opposite of what he/she thinks.

For example:

The cousin you hate is coming to see you and you are saying: <em>What a nice surprise</em>!

Explain why the delivery of a speech is as important as the content of a speech.
Katarina [22]
The delivery of a speech helps the audience understand the topic, what you're talking about, and keeps the speech on track.

For example, if you were giving a speech on Romeo and Juliet, you wouldn't want to get off topic by giving information about Shakespeare's life instead of information and analysis of the play.

Rewrite the sentences adding adjectives for each noun. 1. The boy walked into his house. 2. The wolf ran into the forest. 3. The
True [87]

Answer:

1. The eager boy walked into his new house.

2. The ferocious wolf ran into the dark forest.

3. The sly magician fooled the naive people.

4. The exuberant girl visited a good friend.

5. The homeless man begged for some food.

Explanation:

A noun is a word that names a thing, a place, or a person. In the sentences above, the nouns are: boy, house, wolf, forest, magician, people, girl, friend, man, and food. They are all common nouns, meaning that they do not refer to something or someone in particular.

An adjective is a word that modifies a noun by giving it a quality. For instance, when we say "magician", we only get to know about the profession of this person. But, when we add the adjective "sly", we know something more about him. We know he is deceitful, that is, someone who cannot be trusted.
