Answer:
Bilbo regains consciousness in pitch black. Crawling along the tunnel, he picks up a metal ring, “almost without thinking.” Taking comfort from the discovery that his little sword is also an elvish blade that shines when goblins are near, he starts walking down the tunnel but stops when he walks into cold water.
When Gollum can’t find his ring, he guesses (correctly, this time) that Bilbo has it and comes to attack Bilbo. As Bilbo runs away, he puts his hand in his pocket to figure out what he does have there, and the ring slips onto his finger. Gollum runs past, and Bilbo follows Gollum to the “back door.” There Gollum stops, smelling many goblins, and blocks the passage. Eventually, he senses Bilbo and readies himself to spring. Bilbo briefly contemplates killing him, but a “sudden understanding, a pity mixed with horror, welled up in Bilbo’s heart,” and he jumps over Gollum instead.
Bilbo runs to the door and is seen by the goblins because the ring has slipped off his finger. He puts it back on, dodges goblins, and eventually squeezes through the door, leaving “his nice brass buttons” all over the doorstep.
The answer is:
Pertelote's screams are likened to the laments of Hasdrubal's wife.
In the excerpt from "The Nun's Priest's Tale" in Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales," Lady Pertelote the hen cries so loud that she is compared to Hasdrubal's wife's weeping. The reason is, her husband was killed by the Romans, the city was burned and she committed suicide. As a consequence, since the narrator describes the hen's grieving as so loud that it attacks the air, it is assumed Pertelote grieved and groaned desperately.
Answer:
D. A teacher running right into a door and falling on her face
Explanation:
Situational irony is a situation, outcome or an action that happens although that was unexpected from the known facts or premises.
It is completely unexpected for an experienced Olympic diver to make such a beginner's mistake and do the belly flop.
We could say the same for an 80- year old lady to be familiar with modern technologies, let alone use them and be a part of it.
Also, a ridiculously short man winning a high-jump competition is a rather unexpected outcome.
However, a teacher running right into a door and falling is simply a painful accident, because teachers aren't in any way less prone to accidents nor it is expected of them to never accidentally injure themselves.
