<span>C) [A]nd when Joy had to be impressed for these services, her remarks were usually so ugly and her face so glum that Mrs. Hopewell would say, “If you can’t come pleasantly, I don’t want you at all,” to which the girl, standing square and rigid-shouldered with her neck thrust slightly forward would reply.

Irony is when something is stated but it actually means the opposite. In this case Joy's name means happy, energetic, and positive. However, she is described as having ugly remarks and a glum face. Her behavior is not indicative of a joyous person as her name suggests she is. </span>

BabaBlast [244]

That Billy finally has a<u> gun</u> on him after the bombing that he didn’t have earlier in the war is ironic. Hence, the correct answer is option C. a gun.

<h3>What is an irony?</h3>

An irony is a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often wryly amusing as a result. An irony is also a literary device, originally used in Greek tragedy, through which the essence of a character's words or actions is clear to the audience or reader although unknown to the character.

Therefore, the fact that Billy finally has a gun on him after the bombing that he didn’t have earlier in the war is ironic for it was of no use anymore as at the time he has it.

Which feature most helps indicate to the reader that this modern translation was originally an old English poem ?

avanturin [10]

Answer:

The feature that most helps indicate to the reader that this modern translation was originally an Old English poem is alliteration

Explanation:

The question is not complete since it does not provide the reference text, here is the text:

Read the passage from "A Shield."

A lonely warrior,I am wounded with iron,

Scarred with sword-points,sated with battle-play,

Weary of weapons.I have witnessed much fighting,

Much stubborn strife.

First of all, we need to take in consideration that alliteration is the principal literary device Old English poetry to bind the words, this lines have several examples of this technique such as "wounded with" or "stubborn strife", the other options are not as representative of old English poetry as this literary device.
