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.

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

I personally do not think that it was fair for them to say this, either to Romeo or to women. Gender stereotypes were a lot more prevalent in the 13- and 1400s than they are now. People expected more of men than they did of women — they were not supposed to show weakness or sorrow.

Maurinko [17]
An author of a detective novel is most likely to use figurative language to help the reader visualize a character.
These writers will use figures of speech such as similes, metaphors, personifications, etc. in order to describe their characters and make them easier to visualize for the audience. Oftentimes, these characters have very distinctive characteristics about them.
