Irony is a literary technique that consists of saying the opposite of what you really mean for humorous effect or as a way to emphasize it.

In this case, the sentence is ironic because of the nature of the gift and of the giver. The SS was responsible for the prisoners suffering and were capable of unimaginable cruelty. Therefore, they would not be likely to give them any gift. Secondly, the gift was a restriction that made them uneasy, which is far from "beautiful."

The intention of the author is to use irony to imply the opposite meaning, most likely as a way to emphasize how "horrible" the gift was, because of its opposition to "beautiful."

A statement that showed that the theater had new managers who caused positive changes in the theater should be reviewed in this post.

The text presents a theater that has a very bad administration, causing the theater to have so many problems of hygiene and structure that the narrator of the post gave up on returning to the place. An effective update to this post, which could be revised, would be the statement that the administration of this theater has changed and that positive changes have been made, fixing the problems that the theater presented and becoming a more pleasant place to go.

b. Because none of the precautions they took were effective, the pharaohs found a new burial ground in the Valley of the Kings.
Explanation:
According to the excerpt from "Egyptian Tombs: A Grave Matter,” the cause-effect relationship is illustrated in the fact that pharaohs understood their burial places were in danger of thieves, so they decided protect their tombs and treasures in the Valley of the Kings, whose location was much harder for thieves to break in.
