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.

Match the events from Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis to the themes they reflect.
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

Grete’s insistence near the end of the story that it would be best for her family to get rid of Gregor, and her claim that “it” was not her brother anymore - the theme of<u> betrayal</u>

Mr. Samsa’s physical abuse of Gregor with the apple, which severely injures him and limits his ability to move - the theme of <u>persecution</u>

Gregor’s enjoyment at being able to crawl around his room all day without having to deal with any family or work-related responsibility - the theme of<u> freedom</u>

Gregor’s inability to communicate with others after his transformation into an insect -  the theme of <u>isolation</u>

Explanation:

<em>The Metamorphosis </em>is a novel written by Franz Kafka and published in 1915. The novel tells a rather unusual story of Gregor, a salesman who is suddenly transformed into a huge insect. Throughout the novel, Gregor and his family try to adapt to this new situation. Although the circumstances in the story are different from the real life, the themes explored in this piece are familiar to all of us. Gregor is initially happy that he is able to crawl all day and is free from all the responsibilities of a mundane life. However, he cannot communicate with those around him, which makes him rather lonely and isolated. At the end of the story, Gregor's sister wants to get rid of him and abandons him, which is an act of betrayal that only worsens the whole situation.
