Because with her house burned down she recognizes that her traesure and hope do not lie in the world but in God.
Answer:
C. Thunder and lightning will ruin a pool party, so the weather really isn't "great."
Explanation:
Verbal irony, simply put, is saying one thing, but meaning another, usually completely opposite. It is closely associated with sarcasm and it is often used for humorous effect.
In this particular case, it is obvious that thunderstorm and pool party don't go together. The author is aware of this, so, by saying the weather is "great", when clearly it is not, he uses a verbal irony.
Running for the bus, the rain began to pour.
If you really think about, it's saying that the rain is running for the bus, which makes NO sense. Here, read it again...
<em>Running for the bus, the rain </em>began to pour.
The author wasn't specific about <em>who </em>exactly was running for the bus.
Not sure if it asks you to do this, but if you were to change it and make it agree, it would be "<u><em>As I was running for the bus</em></u><u>,</u> the rain began to pour." There're other ways to write it of course, but the point is that now you know who actually ran for the bus, and it makes sense.
