Read the excerpt from "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry. Which sentence reveals the situational irony? Jim had not yet seen his

beautiful present. She held it out to him eagerly upon her open palm. The dull precious metal seemed to flash with a reflection of her bright and ardent spirit. "Isn't it a dandy, Jim? I hunted all over town to find it. You'll have to look at the time a hundred times a day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it." Instead of obeying, Jim tumbled down on the couch and put his hands under the back of his head and smiled. "Dell," said he, "let's put our Christmas presents away and keep 'em a while. They're too nice to use just at present. I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. And now suppose you put the chops on."

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Text structures as the name implies refers to the architecture of a body of a text. There are text structures where the main idea comes before the details.

Others present the cause of an event followed by the effects of the cause. Another typical structure is where the cause follows the effect. The variations go on and on.

Explanation:

As far as the title is concerned, the text structure is most likely to be a Problem/Solutions Structure. From the topic, it is clear that a Beeless world is a problematic situation. The article is likely to expatiate on how Bees support the world and what would happen if they became extinct. It would then proceed to make a recommendation on how to prevent that.

Which of these is an example of a non sequitur?
dusya [7]

She likes sushi, so I'm sure she'll like lamb is an example of a non sequitur.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A non sequitur is an outcome or response that doesn’t happen reasonably from the earlier statement. Non sequitur implies "it does not follow" in Latin. Non sequitur is usually utilized for comedic impression in films, stories, and TV programs. When someone speaks a non sequitur, it normally indicates the character was absent in her attention and not attending to the other person.

Here in this list of examples, all other statements have continuity between the first and second parts of the statement, but in the statement "She likes sushi, so I'm sure she'll like lamb" the first part describes the character "sushi" but the second part speaks about "lamb" there is no continuity between the two parts of statements
