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

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.

Any ideas how would homework trips lunch time and students activity look differently
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

here u go!

Explanation:

Homework would be reduced, reducing homework can lead to  better mental/physical health. Less assignments helps students focus on each class for long time periods. Ex, If a student had 5 classes a day with each class assigning 2-3 assignments, the student would easily become stressed out and may not finish the work. If homework was reduced, the student may have 1-2 assignments for each class, which allows the student to focus on one class for a long time or for the student to have more free time. Trips would be increased, it would allow the students to take a break from everything and let their bodys calm down for a second. Lunch time would be 47 minutes, maybe 7-10 minutes waiting for lunch and the rest is to enjoy your meal, talk to friends, catch up on homework. The lunch menu would be fixed to satisfy the students and include  more diverse options (for vegans, vegetarians, etc). Student activity would be another thing that is increased. The addition of more sports and after school clubs would help students socialize and build their personality.

The story of an hour, why might it be considered realistic
Finger [1]
If you have to write about this (never read this) but you could be broad with what you say. Use things such as the timeline of the story, the actions the characters do and the emotions they feel. Of these things are possible in real life then of course it's realistic.
