sergiy2304 [10]3 years ago
8 0

The Irony and the pun in the sentences are as follows:

1. Ned said, I just love working in the hot sun. When can we do this again?"

The above sentence shows irony ,as no one would want to work in the hot sun, but Ned is expressing contrary to it.

2. Billy Fisher was a minor character and remained one as an adult  

The above phrase show a play with words and also depicts dark humor, as it suggests the Billy would be a minor, even as an adult. Thus this suggests pun in the sentence.

3. Kara read that Tom Sawyer tricked the boys. What a good friend!" she  remarked.

This sentence shows irony, as what is being exclaimed by Kara is the opposite to what Tom's deed are.

4.His friend's none the wiser, Tom surveyed the results of his whitewashing.

This sentence suggests neither irony, nor pun.

The __________ postulates that individuals engaging in a new behavior, such as adopting a regular exercise program, move through
dlinn [17]

Answer:

The transtheoretical model of behavior change postulates that individuals engaging in a new behavior, such as adopting a regular exercise program, move through the stages of precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance.

Explanation:

The transtheoretical model of behavior change was developed in 1977. It is a result of analysis and application of several psychotherapy theories - hence the name "transtheoretical". Its purpose is to assess someone's readiness to change an unhealthy behavior, trading it for a healthier one. The stages are:

1. Precontemplation

2. Contemplation

3. Preparation

4. Action

5. Maintenance

6. Termination

The stages vary from: a person not being ready to change a harmful behavior at all --> the person thinking of the possibility and beginning to admit his behavior is unhealthy --> the person taking small steps toward change and intending to do it for good --> the person modifying their behavior openly --> the person keeping the new behavior going for over six months --> the person feeling no temptation to return to the previous harmful behavior.
