Answer:

These word choices highlight the tone of irony.

Explanation:

The question above is about the poem "War is Kind" written by Stephen Crane. The entire poem has a strong tone of verbal irony, which can first be found in the poem speaker's statements about why women should not cry because the men they love were killed in war, because war is a good and benevolent thing. This characteristic of war contains strong irony, since nothing good and benevolent would kill anyone.

Verbal irony is reinforced by the use of contradictory ideas like those found in the question above, where the author mixes the characteristics that war promoters impose on themselves and the real characteristics among them.

Samuel Johnson's dictionary was different from previous dictionaries of the English language as it used literary excerpts to illustrate word usage. The correct option among all the options given in the question is option "B". Although there were several facts that separated this dictionary from all the previously created dictionaries of that time. This dictionary had the largest collection of words and that number was 427773. No other dictionaries had this number of word collection. this dictionary included the origin of the word and it was unique during that time. Another important aspect was that the dictionary gave the definition of each and every word. Last but not the least important is the fact that the dictionary gave illustrations from public authors to show the usage of the words.

How could dissappering bees diminish our food supply
Kay [80]
Since bees help pollinate plants, a lack of pollination could prevent certain species of vegetation from growing. Therefore, the plants could be driven into extinction. These plants act as a food source to many animals, so if the animals have nothing to eat, they'd die off as well. Consequently, our own food supply of crop and animal would decrease.
