Example of verbal irony

English
1 answer:
ikadub [295]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Sarcasm is a form of verbal irony.

Explanation:

I love when my socks get soggy wet after getting stuck in the rain! Its one of my favorites!

-- We know that this is undesirable, as it is sarcastic. You would not expect one to actually enjoy this, therefore you would not expect them to say it, making it ironic that they would say such a thing. Any sarcasm works.

Reread pages 82-85. Which is Faber's most convincing argument about the value of books? Which is his least convincing argument?
erma4kov [3.2K]
Because of how much they show of the reality of life, books are dangerous, Faber says. He argues that most people would rather experience rootlessness than really think about life.

Second, books require leisure to digest: in other words, they can be difficult, and they take time, but these are attributes, not negatives. Because they require time, books can provoke thought and yield new ideas.

Finally, Faber says, books matter if people have the freedom to act on the ideas in them: just reading a book is not the end

Hope this helps :)

What rule applies to this word?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

The correct answer is "Group II. When the root is a full word except for a final e, the forms usually are spelled with -able"

Explanation:

The passage presented in the question explains the basic rules for adding the suffix "-able" to a root word or basic unit that forms words, for doing this, there are eight different rules that define the correct way to add this suffix mainly based on the features of a word. In the case of the word "desire" this word is a root by itself which means it cannot be reduced to smaller particles and this word ends in "-e", also the correct form of adding the suffix "-able" is in the form "desirable" which means the final "e-" is omitted and the suffix is added. Therefore, this word belongs to the rule "Group II", because as desire words of this group are full words excerpt by the "-e" that need to be omitted to add the prefix.
