<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>

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!<br> Something important about the character Romeo:
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Romeo is the male lead in the play and acts as the play’s hero. He is central to the plot through his relationship with Juliet, the heroine, and many of Romeo’s choices govern the action in the play. For example, his choice to go to the Capulet feast against his better judgement leads to him meeting Juliet. His choice to avenge Mercutio’s death leads to his banishment and the desperate plan he and Juliet embark upon to be reunited, which ends in their death.

TIP:

It is important to look at Romeo’s actions in Act V Scene 3. Make notes on what he does and why you think he acts as he does (for example, lying to Balthasar and killing Paris in fury). Do these actions match our earlier impressions of Romeo’s character? Is Romeo just the sensitive and romantic young man we considered him to be in Act I?

None of the above

The technique, which includes placing shows at the same time every day so that people get into the habit of watching them, is called strip programming or stripping. Programs broadcast this way are given a regular time slot during the week. This ensures consistency and coherency, as consistent content is delivered to the targeted audience at the time the broadcasters predict that they will be listening to or watching their programs.

Hammocking a technique that includes the scheduling of an unpopular program between two popular programs, so that the viewers are more likely to watch it.

Tentpoling is a technique that broadcasters use to draw the audience to unknown programs by placing them on either side of a well-known program.

Sipping as a scheduling strategy does not exist.
