<span>To think of your having such a tragedy in your life!" </span>

The sentences in this excerpt of "Editha" that have an ironic tone are:

""To think of your having such a tragedy in your life!"

This sentence is ironic because Editha brought her tragedy on her own: the only reason her fiancé is dead, which lead to an argument with his mother, is because she insisted that he went to war, even threatened to end the engagement if he didn't.

" But when you consider how much this war has done for the country!"

This has an ironic tone because wars are never positive for a country. They represent a loss of life and a heavy weight in the economy.

Read the following excerpt from The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling.
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

C). to introduce the main character.

Explanation:

As per the question, the given excerpt as the section of the story aims to 'introduce a main character' i.e. 'Father Wolf.' The details about the routine('seven o'clock...woke up'), behavior('scratched himself...spread...paws' etc.), and his daily task('time to hunt again') display that the author is introducing him to the readers by offering details regarding him.

The descriptions display that there is no conflict about which the author would create uncertainty or suspense and since there is no tension, breaking it is out of the context. Neither does the author talk about a problem whose solution he seems to be providing. Thus, the only logical option is <u>option C</u> which is the correct answer.

Which of the following sentences contains an idiom?
earnstyle [38]

Answer: A

Explanation:

An idiom is a figurative writing technique that usually uses the metaphor of completing a certain literal process. This hence prescribes a certain type of attitude to the individual in question. The idiom is 'willing to work from the ground up', Leroy in this case likely wont be physically building something from the ground up. But instead he will be metaphorically approaching the task at hand and is willing to put in all the hard work necessary to learn everything he can.
