Answer:

After running an ad in a local newspaper, the father of twin toddlers interviewed several potential candidates and narrowed it down to two he thought to be the most qualified. Both women were in their forties and very pleasant, and he thought that either of them would do an excellent job. Undecided, he ran a background check on each of the women and was shocked to find that one of the women had an extensive criminal history and was recently treated in a mental health facility. Obviously, he hired the other woman. A week later, the father was shocked when he picked up a newspaper and read that the woman he did not hire had severely injured a little girl who was under her care.

What great weather we are having; thunder and lightning always make an outdoor pool party fun!
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

C. Thunder and lightning will ruin a pool party, so the weather really isn't "great."

Explanation:

Verbal irony, simply put, is saying one thing, but meaning another, usually completely opposite. It is closely associated with sarcasm and it is often used for humorous effect.

In this particular case, it is obvious that thunderstorm and pool party don't go together. The author is aware of this, so, by saying the weather is "great", when clearly it is not, he uses a verbal irony.

A certain cool-headedness had come to him;

The phrases 'he wrestled with all his power', 'he struck out with strong strokes', 'struggled up to the surface and tried to cry out' substantiate the above claim.

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Cereal is Cereal, Soup is Soup

Explanation:

Soup is "a liquid food made by boiling or simmering meat, fish, or vegetables with various added ingredients." So, to answer this burning question, based on dictionary.com, cereal does not count as a soup. Unless you eat your cereal full of boiled meat, fish, or vegetables, that is.
