Answer and Explanation:

An example of humor that we can see in this book is reflected in many conversations between Atticus and Scout, especially when Jem says a very disrespectful word, to blacks, that he heard at school. At this moment, Atticus shows how the use of this word is improper, mainly in a school that should promote education. In that moment, humor is used, as Scout says that she shouldn't go to school, since that is where she is learning bad words.

Humor in this case is used sarcastically, criticizing people who encourage prejudice and outrage, when they should do the opposite

What is the answer to this question from the short story “Miss Brill”
mestny [16]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

In the beginning of the story (which I read just for you ;) ), Miss Brill takes the fur out of the box and proudly dons it. She goes about her day, feeling pretty darn good, until " a boy and girl came and sat down ... beautifully dressed; they were in love." They're incredibly rude to her: the boy refers to Miss Brill as "that stupid old thing" and the girl calls the precious fur "exactly like a fried whiting." Driving the message home, the author notes that, usually, Miss Brill buys a slice of cake as a treat; however, this time, she "passed the baker's by," goes home, and "quickly; quickly, without looking, laid it [the fur] inside." The author's repeated use of the word "quickly" further emphasizes Miss Brill's shame and self-consciousness. What a sad story :( Hope that helps!
