Answer:

c. Sitting in the cockpit of a commercial airplane.

Explanation:

The National Geographic magazine article "Barrington Irving, Pilot and Educator" narrates how Barrington Irving became a pilot. Irving would become the first and youngest African American to be a pilot and fly solo around the world.

Irving had never thought of becoming a pilot at first. As he admitted, <em>"I didn’t think I was smart enough"</em>, Irving never thought about his future in the aviation scene. He was just helping out his parents at their bookstore. It was there that a chance encounter, a chance question by <em>"a Jamaican-born  professional pilot"</em> and the chance to sit at the cockpit of a commercial airplane that <em>"hooked"</em> Irving to flying.

Thus, the correct answer is option c.

Which of the following statements is an example of sarcasm?
oee [108]
B, “awesome”, the student grumbled at his lunch, “fish head again”.

This is sarcasm, because the student grumbled, meaning that the student obviously don’t like the fish heads, (who does?). Therefore, the student is going against what he actually means, so it’s an example of sarcasm.
