Answer:
The correct answers are:
1) Centipide
2) fish
3) monkey
4) lion
5) turtle
6) twin birds
7) alligator
8) Egg
9) Grasshopper
Explanation:
Let's analyze the information:
The animal with more legs (centipid) goes first.
The turtle goes 3 places after the fish, and in turn they tell us that the animal without legs goes after the one with the most, leaving the fish at 2, and placing the turtle at 5.
A pure vegetarian comes last (Grasshopper).
The alligator is located between the twins and their child (egg) (6,7 and 8). The turtle, who is in 5th place, has the monkey and the lion ahead.
Answer:
The irony is in saying that seeing a dog wearing pants (parody of breeches) was an uplifting or edifying sight which is really not true and which is comical when visualized.
Explanation:
An irony is expressing ones thoughts in words that mean the opposite to achieve humor. The narrator in this instance was looking down on the fireman by comparing him to a dog wearing pants and a feather hat.
He thus compared him to an animal and in the same instance, said that it was an edifying sight. He also called him a fine chap in the same breath. This is quite contradictory and that is how he achieved the use of irony in those lines.
