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.

Read the excerpt from Blanca Flor.
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Words that indicate speech, such as “asked” and “said”.

Explanation:

The story of Blanca Flor revolves around the two protagonists Juanito and Blaca Flor who escaped the magic domain of Don Ricardo. Blanca Flor helped Juanito escape the evil man with the assistance of her own magical abilities.

The two given versions of the same scene show Don Ricardo being given the freshly baked loaf of bread by Juanito. The first is the play version while the second part is the narrative adaptation. And while there is not much difference between the two versions, there is one such point where their difference can be detected. It is the use of words such as "asked" and "said" that indicates speech in the two characters, which is not present in the play/ drama version.  

Thus, the correct answer is the last/ fourth option.

What are the values of a and b?
topjm [15]

Answer:

a = –0.4 and b = 0.15

Explanation:

<em>Shanti wrote the predicted values for a data set using the line of best fit y = 2.55x – 3.15. She computed two of the residual values. What are the values of a and b?</em>

<em />

Residual values are the difference between Given and predicted value. That is:

Residual Value = Given - Predicted

Taking the values of the table:

a = 4.1 - 4.5 = -0.4

a = -0.4

And b is:

b = 7.2 - 7.05 = 0.15

b = 0.15

That means right answer is:

<h3>a = –0.4 and b = 0.15</h3>

Excerpt from New Nevada Palominos Enlisting in the U.S. Marines US Dept. Of the Interior--Carson City Field Office Marine Corps
S_A_V [24]

The correct answer is: Option A. Adopt the horses.


Given the context in the excerpt stating the individuals that would be "taking possession of the new horses" are official U.S. Marines, it can be inferred that this practice will take place within legal bounds, and therefore "stealing the horses" is out of context in this case. The intent of this activity is to use the horses as part of the Marines' activities, and as such, it is clear the Marines are planning to "adopt" the horses, not "borrow" them.
