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.

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.

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. Not all tiles will be used.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Explanation:

1. Family

In this excerpt, the boys are talking about a possible consequence for people who reveal the secrets. They decide that killing families would be a great deterrent. However, they realize Huck doesn't have any family worth killing. This shows how important family is to the characters and how little Huck's father was valued in society.

2. Deception

In the excerpt, Helmer talks about how Krogstad had to use a "cunning trick" and "how he has to wear a mask". These are all indicators of deception. Deception is a lie or a trick.

3. gender differences

Helmer says, "no man would sacrifice his honor." Nora says, "It is a thing hundreds of thousands of women have done." In this excerpt, they are showing the differences between a man and a woman.

4. Supernatural beliefs

In this excerpt, the speaker is comparing a sound a ghost makes. He also talks about getting some bad luck. Then does a few actions that would hopefully ward off any evil coming his way. The superstitious nature of his behavior is evidence of supernatural beliefs.
