In "The Lady or the Tiger?," the narrator explains the process by which the king decides whether a person is innocent or guilty,

claiming that "its perfect fairness was obvious." Which best explains the use of verbal irony in the narrator's speech? The process is not obvious at all; no one has ever seen it! The process is horribly unfair, as it does not determine real guilt or innocence. The narrator only thinks things are obvious because he is telling the story. The outcome is obvious because the accused always gets either the lady or the tiger.

The irony is what is expected to happen and what actually exists or happens(ed). The ironic part is a guilty man would take the door with the woman behind it and walk away freely while a innocent man would take the tiger and die.

Answer:

A) Fog slowly rising from the surface of the pond.

Explanation:

Henry David Thoreau wrote his transcendentalist book "Walden" as a reflection of his simple living among nature. He notes in his book how one can only know his true self when he's among nature, away from the automatic and forceful nature of living in the big cities.

From the above provided passage in the question, Thoreau is describing how the fog is slowly rising from the surface of the pond early in the morning. Thoreau is staying in a cabin in the woods, where he survives and lives among nature, away from the monotonous life of cities. He notes that the beauty of nature is fully appreciated when one makes it a necessity to be at one with nature. In the chapter titled "<em>Where I Lived And What I Lived For</em>", he recounts how he was able to notice even the littlest of things, like for instance, this rising of the fog. His use of imagery in describing the scene also makes it more attractive and appealing, instead of just simple putting it in normal simple direct words.
