They drove back to the house to let the old woman off and pick up the lunch. When they were ready to leave, she stood staring in

the window of the car, with her fingers clenched around the glass. Tears began to seep sideways out of her eyes and run along the dirty creases in her face. "I ain’t ever been parted with her for two days before," she said.
Which best describes the irony in the excerpt?
a. Mrs. Crater has never been separated from her daughter, and now she must let her go for two days.
b. Mrs. Crater's tears are insincere because she is happy that her daughter is finally leaving her alone.
c. Instead of experiencing the joy of gaining a son-in-law, Mrs. Crater feels the sorrow of losing her daughter.
d. As the two part ways, Lucynell does not feel the same amount of emotional despair as her mother.

Answer:

c. Instead of experiencing the joy of gaining a son-in-law, Mrs. Crater feels the sorrow of losing her daughter.

Explanation:

The excerpt presents a situational irony that refers to the situation where something is expected to happen, but the opposite happens. In the case of the excerpt, the reader might be expecting Mrs. Carter to be happy that her daughter was married, happy, and given a new member to the family, who is Mrs. Carter's son-in-law. However, instead of Mrs. Carter being happy to have a new son-in-law, Mrs. Carter was very sad to see her daughter leaving her home and tracing her own path.

The Globe Tours and Travel,

New Delhi, India.

                          TERMS FOR CONDUCTED TOURS

I, Varsha Malhotra, the head girl of the above named school wish to contact you to make inquiries about the terms of a tour we are going to embark on. Our history teacher is organizing a tour for us in-order to show us historical sites at Agra, Jaipur and Chandigarh.

Based on this fact, I would like to know about the terms of service for the tour we are to be embarked on in-order to plan ourselves. How much would it take to convey 60 students to those places using your company's deluxe bus? The fare for the trip, boarding? And, also, do you have lodging in those places and how much does it cost per night for each person?

Additionally, we would like to know the total time the trip will take as well as the mode of payment for the trip? Do your company accept cash or can we pay through cheque?

Thank you as I look forward to your reply to my questions.

Yours sincerely,

Varsha Malhotra.
