The situational irony which occurs in “The Colomber” by Dino Buzzati is that the colomber pursues Stefano in order to give him a magic pearl.

Stefano gave up his dream of becoming a sea captain to ensure that he will live a long life after seeing the Colomber.

Tthe Colomber was believed to be a harbinger of Death and that whoever sees it will be doomed for life.

Nevertheless, the reason why the Colomber was after Stefano was that it was tasked to give Stefano a pearl that would grant him good luck and success in life. And the irony lies on the fact that Stefano feared the Colomber was false and baseless.

Select the correct answer. Which phrase is a noun phrase in the given paragraph? Since childhood Jess has been interested in the

deff fn [24]

Answer: The correct answer is: [B]: " the art of story telling. "

_____________________________

Explanation:

_____________________________

The given excerpt is as follows:

Since childhood, Jess has been interested in the art of storytelling. She would entertain her little brother and sister with tales of magic and adventure. She started writing stories almost as soon as she learned the alphabet. To write her stories, Jess relies on her colorful imagination.

___________________________

Let us consider the other answer choices:

Choice [A]: "has been interested" ;

Choice [C]: "would entertain" ;

Choice [D]: "started writing" ;

are all "<u>verb phrases</u>" ; that do not contain any "noun"— or subject or object—nor do they function as a "noun" or "subject" in any way.

Choice [E]: "as soon as" ; is an "adverb phrase" that describes "when" something is about to happen —(albeit not very specific about "when"—in this particular explanation.

____________________________

Choice: [B]: " the art of storytelling" ; is the correct answer.

____________________________

This is clearly a "noun phrase" ; since it begins with a noun [athough this is not required to be a "noun phrase"]—and is modified by a "gerund" [i.e. modified by further explanation—by using the words "of storytelling"] ; in which the "gerund" is "storytelling". Gerunds are nouns formed from "verb forms ending in -ing" —which <u>function as a noun</u>.
