The correct option is C: Slippery slope. This type of fallacy suggests that a certain or certain events will take place with no real or sufficient evidence to prove so. This is the case, especially with events that seem unlikely to happen given the circumstances. In this example, the reasoning goes like this: if Quentin fails to pass his math test, as a consequence, he will lose the opportunity of going to college and he will have to live in his parent’s basement for the rest of his life. However, the fact that he does not pass this test is not enough evidence that those two situations will actually take place. For example, Quentin may take the test again and try passing it, or if he eventually cannot enter college, he can look for a job that is profitable and that will allow him to become independent and move from his parent’s house, etc.

Answer:
The irony is in saying that seeing a dog wearing pants (parody of breeches) was an uplifting or edifying sight which is really not true and which is comical when visualized.
Explanation:
An irony is expressing ones thoughts in words that mean the opposite to achieve humor. The narrator in this instance was looking down on the fireman by comparing him to a dog wearing pants and a feather hat.
He thus compared him to an animal and in the same instance, said that it was an edifying sight. He also called him a fine chap in the same breath. This is quite contradictory and that is how he achieved the use of irony in those lines.
The answer is D. Neither is misspelled as niether with an ie when it is supposed to be an ei.
Hope this helps!

Third person is when a story is narrated by one of the characters. If you only know the narrators thoughts, then it is third person limited. If you know others thoughts as well, then it is third person omniscient.
