Hello

This event is most clearly an occurrence of dramatic irony.Dramatic irony is when the readers know something that the characters of the novel do not. So here, we know that the weapon began to repair itself, and the characters do not.

Answer: B) Dramatic irony.

Explanation: an irony is a state of affairs or an event that seems contrary to what one expects and it often has an amusing result. A dramatic irony is when the audience is aware of something that the characters of the story ignore. In the given excerpt we can see a clear example of a dramatic irony, because the audience is aware of the destructive weapon repairing itself, while the space travelers (the characters) don't know it.

Artemon [7]

Choose the type of paragraph below.

W. Michael Blumenthal, a corporate CEO, talks about the mistakes he made in hiring:

"In choosing people for top positions, you have to make sure they have a clear sense of what is right and wrong, a willingness to be truthful, the courage to say what they think and to do what they think is right, even if the politics militate against that. This is the quality that should really be at the top. I was too often impressed by the intelligence and substantive knowledge of an individual and did not always pay enough attention to the question of how honest and courageous and good a person the individual really was."

Read William Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18. Note that it is divided into three quatrains followed by a concluding couplet. Which two s
MAXImum [283]

The ninth line of the sonnet brings in a major change of tone. Shakespeare jumps on elaborating the immortality of his lover rather than continuing the criticism of the sun.  Moreover, the limitations of nature are replaced by his lover’s thoughts and he claims that his darling is not bounded by the rules that are being displayed.

In line-4, the summer is stated as ”eternal summer”, since it keeps returning every year. And noticing from the previous personifications employed in the sonnet, we can easily recognize the similarity between “summer’s day” and “thee”. Both can be eternal or can fade with time. This is the major reason why the author takes a turn on line-9, as both of them have only one threat-time; and the third force that can eternalize them both is the poetry that the author has created.

To conclude, we can easily notice the turn in topic and breaking of the stanza.
