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.

Why does the theft of the Tai-me represent the decline of the Kiowa people?
Gemiola [76]
I would say the Tai-me symbolized the collective strength of the Kiowa indigenous people in the US and was used in their ceremonial dances and was a doll about 2 feet tall with feathers and mocassins so its theft would be an affront to their beliefs.

Think about any idioms you might use, where if you really analyzed the actual words, they wouldn’t make much sense, but the big
Dmitrij [34]

"It's raining cats and dogs"

"The rain is as cold as ice"

"It's so cold, we might be in Antarctica"

"Winter is as freezing as a polar bear's home"

"The sun won't shine until it is a million years later"

These are just some idioms. These include similes and metaphors.

Here's a short story.

Kaleb walked outside. "Oh, Mom, it's raining cats and dogs- how am I going to use my kite?" He shut the door, not letting the rain come in. "Not only that- the rain is as cold as ice. It's 22 degrees!" Kaleb's mom said. "Oh no, this wasn't the right time to buy a kite. Winter is as freezing as a polar bear's home, I hate this so much!" Kaleb said. "Oh, Kaleb, don't be so sad," said Kaleb's dad. "We can find a day, maybe tomorrow. It's windy tomorrow." "Oh, be quiet! It's raining all week! It will also be cold! It's so cold, we might be in Antarctica!" Kaleb's aunt (his dad's side) said. "Oh, man," Kaleb's dad said. Kaleb sighed, and put his kite away. "The sun won't shine until it is a million years later," he said.
