7 0

The correct answer is B. Irony.

Explanation

Sarcasm is a concept that refers to a cruel mockery that offends or mistreats someone or something. Sarcasm is a kind of irony that appeals to the humor with wit. However, it is malicious as it seeks to hurt the recipient. Also, it is expressed in an obvious way or through indirect or covert criticism. On the other hand, the irony is a disguised mockery that consists of making sense of the opposite of what is said through a certain intonation or body language. To conclude, sarcasm and irony are related, however, sarcasm is characterized by being more aggressive or offensive. So the correct answer is B. Irony.

Read the following passage. Then decide whether the student sample at the right (or below) cites the passage acceptably in MLA s
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

b) Unacceptable  

Explanation:

The given excerpt shows the text from the original source, enabling us to identify whether the student properly followed the formatting rules of Modern Language Association (MLA) style.  The <u>in-text citation format</u> of the MLA style is enclosing the author's last name and the page number in open- and closed-parenthesis at the end of the text.  

In the given prompt, the name of the author and the page number were provided. Also, the student copied from the text verbatim. Thus, he or she should have written the direct quotation as:

"There is no such thing as a literary work or tradition which is valuable in itself" (Eagleton 11).

Alternatively, the student could have introduced the name of the author before the direct quote:  

Terry Eagleton presents an interesting view on the significance of value in literature, as he states, "There is no such thing as a literary work or tradition which is valuable in itself" (11).  

Therefore, the student <u>unacceptably</u> cites the passage in MLA style.
