Answer:

B. gulliver expects the humans in the land of the houyhnhnms to be very wise, but they are the most brutal and disgusting beasts imaginable.

Explanation:

The term irony itself refers to an event that is the opposite to what one expects. A situational irony in literature occurs when what happens is the contrary to what the characters or the audience are expecting to happen. If we think of Gulliver's Travels, we can see a situational irony when gulliver expects the humans in the land of the houyhnhnms to be very wise, but they are the most brutal and disgusting beasts imaginable. What occurs is the contrary to what the character and the audience expect.

• Punctuate the following paragraph: philosophers theologians psychologists and economists have long sought to define happiness
Inessa [10]
Philosophers, theologists, psychologists and economists have long sought to define happiness and since the 1990’s a whole branch of psychology has been dedicated to pinning it down and propagating it, more than simply positive mood. Happiness is a state of well-being that encompasses living a good life. For example, life with a sense of meaning and deep satisfaction.
