Answer:
The best description of the weather in Moingona, Iowa before the train crash is Option C: There was very heavy rain, which caused Honey Creek to rise and flood.
Explanation:
This train accident occurred on the afternoon of July 6, 1881. There had been heavy thunderstorms that caused flash flooding and this washed out the timbers of the railway trestle that crossed Honey Creek. A locomotive was sent from Moingona to check track conditions. It fell into Honey Creek with a crew of four men on board.
A young adolescent of about 16 years old Kate Shelley heard the crash and also thought of a passenger train that would be heading the same route. She found two survivors and went to get help, traveling a long distance to sound the alarm and risking her own safety by crossing another bridge on her hands and knees. She is considered a heroine and has a bridge named after her.
Answer:
The correct answer is: situational, dramatic and verbal irony.
Explanation:
The irony is a literary device we use to express certain meanings by using language that signifies the opposite, to indicate a higher negative implication through the positive wording.
There are three types of irony: dramatic, situational, and verbal.
Dramatic irony represents the situation when the audience understands what is happening in a certain situation better than the characters. The best example of this type of irony can be found in Shakespeare's <em>Romeo and Juliet</em> when Romeo dies because he believes Juliet is dead.
Situational irony occurs when some action has the opposite result from what is expected.
For example:
John realizes it's his wife's birthday. He goes to buy her a present, and after buying it, he realizes the birthday was three days ago.
Verbal irony occurs when the speaker says the opposite of what he/she thinks.
For example:
The cousin you hate is coming to see you and you are saying: <em>What a nice surprise</em>!
