English
1 answer:
Norma-Jean [14]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The irony about Jen's step-dad working for the Population police is that he broke the rule of the Population Police of having two children, by having a third child, and yet working for the organization.

Explanation:

'Among the Hidden' is a novel written by Margaret Peterson Haddix. The novel is about a society, where the Population Police has prohibited families for having more than two children.

Jen, just like Luke, is a third child in her family. Jen's mother had two sons before Jen, but she decided to have a girl on purpose, so they bribed the doctor and had Jen as a third child. The irony about Jen's step-dad working for the Population Police is that he broke the rule of having two children by having a third child, yet he is working for the Population Police. He is working for the organization, whose rule he has broken, so this is the irony.

Which things are important to do when you are writing the conclusion of an informational essay?
Igoryamba

Answer:

Give readers a sense of closure or completion and restate the essay's main points.

Explanation:

Originally, I thought it could be important to provide a hook. However, that is more of an introduction thing. The whole point of the introduction is to hook the reader and make them want to read more. A conclusion is the completion of the essay. It restates the main points as a form of emphasis. Might even leave some questions to let the readers think about.

PLEASE MARK BRAINLIEST IF THIS HELPED! :)

dem82 [27]

"Sorrow knocked at my door, but I was afraid" is an example of <em>D. personification.</em>

Personification is a literary device in which animals, objects or ideas are given human attributes. In this case, sorrow is given the ability to knock at someone's door, but as we know it is only a figure of speech because sorrow cannot knock at the door.
