Answer:
(1) An author doing research for a book asked thousands of Americans what made them happy.
Explanation:
It's tempting to say that the main idea is the conclusion of the paragraph, which is stated in sentence (5). However, the main focus of the paragraph is more on the research on what makes American happy, which is detailed by the responses of the research subjects, as well as the conclusion of the research study. If (5) was the main focus, there would be more details about why most of the things that make you happy are simple and free or inexpensive or what the general research about this topic has been, instead of just one study in particular.
Anne Frank demonstrates great bravery when she hides with her family and others in the underground annex during the Holocaust. She is well aware that leaving the attic, as well as being discovered by others other than the sympathetic people who are hiding the Jewish families in the attic, would almost certainly result in her death.
Answer:
Learning the king expected his statue to crumble.
Explanation:
Situational irony is when something that is expected did not happen but rather, the exact opposite happens. This means that the expected outcome is not what happens, but far from it. The outcome is the complete opposite of the expected outcome.
In the given lines of the poem "Ozymandias" by Percy Bysshe Shelley, the additional situational irony is if the king expected his statue to crumble. It is obvious that King Ozymandias constructed the statue to last long and be a symbol of his power and influence. But ironically, the statue crumbles, leaving little to no evidence of his power. So, if he were to expect the statue to last long, the situational irony will be that he expected it to crumble.
Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
