Hello. You did not enter the text to which the question refers, which may leave the evidence of the answer a little inaccurate.

Answer and Explanation:

1. Nellie Bly affirms that the mentally ill are mistreated, abused and that there is no type of commitment from the employees in relation to the patients, since they are not concerned with their well-being, nor with their correct treatment, since the employees only care about testing new equipment, not caring about patients.

2. Bly uses humor and dramatic irony to be sarcastic about the situation she witnessed. In this case, she tends to give extremely acid information, which shows the mistreatment that she witnessed in the sanatorium, emitting ironic information that meant the opposite, that showed exaggeration, but that were punctual in showing how sanatoriums were uncompromising and cruel institutions. Adjectives, in this case, were used to describe the situations she witnessed and create realistic mental images for readers.

3. The opinions and information that Bly demonstrates shows that she was a journalist committed to the truth and to information, in addition to being extremely courageous and a person committed to social causes and justice to all individuals, especially those most fragile by society.

Answer:

The narrator's description of the mother contrasted sharply with the revelation of the mother's secret, revealing her to be someone she presented herself not to be which surprises and shocks the reader, as the mother was practically described as being a saint.

Explanation:

In A Dead Woman's Secret the narrator described the mother as a rigid disciplinarian who instilled unshakable morals in her children, which resulted in the son becoming a magistrate without pity for the weak and the daughter becoming a nun.

This description creates an image of the mother as a virtuous woman in the reader's mind, as also assumed by her son and daughter.

So the surprise is real when the mother is revealed to be a woman who had an affair with a man that was not her husband, the behavior is not in keeping with who she was described to be.
