Answer:

<u>The key details that contribute to the irony in the poem are the following:</u>

*The things that are considered no death, are the ones are not breathing or living.

*Even a pebble lies in a roadway, still it never experiences death. *No matter how grasses are cut, they still grow in the same place.

*Brooks, even though its flow is not that much, still you can see it come and go.

*Despite all these things that are not living, they do not fade nor die. But since a human is strong and wise, makes it the reason why it dies.

Explanation:

The irony in Louis Untermeyer's poem is given by the fact that those things that have no awareness of themselves, like pebbles and dust or sand and streams, live forever. Because that which is not alive cannot die. On the contrary, man, who is strong and intelligent, who is aware of himself and all the things around him and wants to live forever, eventually dies.

(A) a stone cannot be ethical because_________. (B) whereas human can be ethical because_________.
Sloan [31]
You didn't give the options. However, i'll try.
To me, a stone cannot be ethical because it cannot suffer. Indeed, the capacity for suffering must be satisfied before we talk about interest in a meaningful way. For instance, nothing we could possibly do for a stone could make a difference in its welfare. It don't have interest.  Whereas, we, humans have interest. Therefore we can be ethical because we are sentient beings that can be benifited or harmed. It's because we can experience pain as a result.
Hope this helps !

Ahat [919]
<h2><u>Question</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h2>

I understand that i could not rely upon her to get a job done. (change into paasive)

<h2><u>Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h2>

The passive voice always uses the past participle form of the main verb irrespective of any tense.

So the sentence will be- I could not rely upon her to get a job done, I understand.
