Read the excerpt from "The Storyteller." The child moved reluctantly to the window. "Why are those sheep being driven out of tha

t field?” he asked. "I expect they are being driven to another field where there is more grass,” said the aunt weakly. "But there is lots of grass in that field,” protested the boy; "there’s nothing else but grass there. Aunt, there’s lots of grass in that field.” "Perhaps the grass in the other field is better,” suggested the aunt fatuously. "Why is it better?” came the swift, inevitable question. "Oh, look at those cows!” exclaimed the aunt. Nearly every field along the line had contained cows or bullocks, but she spoke as though she were drawing attention to a rarity. "Why is the grass in the other field better?” persisted Cyril. Which instances of situational irony occur in the passage? Select two options. The aunt expects the boy to look out the window, but he does not. The aunt expects the boy to look out the window, and he does. The aunt expects the boy to accept her explanations, but he does not. The aunt expects the boy to show interest in the sheep, and he does. The aunt expects the boy to be interested in the cows, but he is not.

The instances of situational irony that occur in the above passage are:

The aunt expects the boy to accept her explanations, but he does not.

The aunt expects the boy to be interested in the cows, but he is not.

A situational irony is a form of irony in which the actions have an opposite effect of what it is intended. The outcome of the situation is totally different to what it is expected. In the above excerpt, the answers which the boy gets from his Aunt and the way he deals with those answers are an example of situational irony.

Darina [25.2K]

<u>Answer:</u>

  • ‘Cloudy Day’ is a poem written by Jimmy Santiago. This poem is based on the central idea that no matter in whatever situation you’re in, there’s always a ray of hope.
  • When we read the first stanza, it makes us clear that Baca (the person who is poisoned) is talking about his own life story.
  • In the every first stanza we get some details which is not quite possible for an ordinary man to come up with such details.
  • Only the one who is imprisoned can show us the reality of life. The tone used by the speaker is very encouraging and optimistic one.

Using the space below, answer the following questions. What is the author's central claim? Quote the text directly, citing the p
joja [24]
A. The author's central claim is the thesis It is the purpose of a paper.

B. What the author is attempting to demonstrate by composing the text. A claim can be argumentative (something the author is attempting to induce the peruser almost) or informative (something the author is attempting to advise the peruser around). The claim guides the rest of the content. All through the text, the author will give illustrations and commentary that continuously interfaces back to the central claim. This is why distinguishing the author's claim is pivotal to understanding the fundamental reason of a work.

<span>C. Yes it does go throughout the entire text. It explains the central ideas in the paragraph. The thesis give the idea of what is going to be explain and the topics of the paragrah, which makes it all connected. </span>
