ve question A. Hard work can be rewarding. B. People’s characters are shaped by their conditions. C. Age brings unwelcome physical changes. D. Harsh realities put an end to daydreams.
Answer: D. Harsh realities put an end to daydreams.
Explanation:
In the short story, The Necklace, we learn about Madame Mathlide Loisel who was married to a clerk in the Ministry of Public Instruction. He was not very rich and she did not like that very much for she was always day dreaming about life as a rich person with pleasures that rich people enjoy.
After she borrows a necklace from a friend and subsequently losses it, she and her husband spend 10 years trying to replace the debt they incurred in trying to replace the necklace.
She becomes noticeable aged from hard work and poverty and this new life of hers has put an end to the day dreams that she used to have of a wealthy lifestyle.
The sentence that combines the two sentences using a present participial phrase is B) Stretching eight feet, the sunflower reaches all the way up to my window. This is the only sentence where you can find the present participial phrase - <em>stretching eight feet. </em>
the other answers aren't irony. But a book being about riches making millions of dollars is definitely irony. Ironys definition is events that contradict each other.
