Answer:
3. The excerpt is an example of situational irony, as Jim has sold the watch for which Della bought a chain.
Explanation:
Irony is the use of language in such a way that the intended meaning of the words is expressed through the use of another opposite expression or words. This rhetorical device presents a situation as something but what the reality is, is a much different thing.
In the given excerpt from O Henry's short story <em>The Gift of the Magi</em>, the scene is that of situational irony. <u>Situational irony occurs when the expected outcome is not what happened but rather the opposite happens. </u>Likewise, the scene is a situational irony for both the characters of Jim and Della wanted to please each other with their gifts. But both ended up selling the very thing that the other person has bought the gift for. <u>Della sold her hair to buy a watch chain for Jim while Jim sold his watch to buy an ornamental comb for Della's hair.
</u>
Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
A rhyme scheme is a order of rhyme patterns at the end of each line in a poem.
for example:
The people along the sand -A
All turn and look one way. B
They turn their back on the land. -A
<span>They look at the sea all day B
</span>
the rhyme scheme would be A,B,A,B
I believe the answer is <span>C:putting particular emphasis on an object in a story
Putting particular emphasis on the object will make the object more relevant and make readers could understand the correlation between whats written in the story and the object.
Doing something like repeating objects throughout a text will only make it abundant and most readers will choose to ignore it.</span>
