There are a couple of sentences.First, .."<em>No ,you didn´t expect him to get  kiiled</em>."<em>You just expected him to kill some one else.." </em>The message is about deathe and the lady talks as if referring to a place that needed cleaning.

Second,.<em>."they weren´t there because they had any say about it.."</em>Again there is sarcasm in the idea that , though human beings, theyare in such a low position that they do not even deserve to utter a word.

Thirdly, .. <em>you thought it would be right.....to kill the sons...miserable</em> <em>mothers.."</em>The sentence contains sarcasm as it expresses an idea of doing away with what is useless.

Last, ...What you got that black.."She means that there is no reason to be mourning by wearing black clothes, a shawl.She is sarcastic because she is thankful for a deat<em>."You thought it would be all right..".." to kill the sons of those </em>h to prevent other deaths.

I believe the sentences that contain sarcasm are, "I thank my God he didn't live to do it! I thank my God they killed him first, and that he ain't living' with their blood on his hands!"

juin [17]

Answer:

b.

Explanation:

The first sentence makes it seem as though the yeast is being rolled out instead of the dough, since it does not use commas on either side of "activated by yeast". The correction in option "b." makes it clear that the dough is being rolled out while also specifying that it is yeast-activated dough.

B) Also, you can go out the front door, if fire is in front of the door, you can go out the back, or go through the garage/basement door (if have one)

Write are report to the headteacher explaining why you got disqualified ​
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Dear Ms. Smith:

I have just finished serving the in-school suspension you assigned me on 11 February, 2021. As I told you when you assigned the punishment, I did not commit the vandalism done to the desk in Mr. Jones’ classroom. I realize this letter will not add any new facts to those on which you based your decision; therefore, it is unlikely to change your mind. I also understand that even if you do come to accept my assertion of innocence, you cannot undo the punishment. Nevertheless, I want to be heard.

The vandalized desk had my name carved into it. It was on that basis that Mr. Jones reported me. I understand why both you and Mr. Jones would suspect me. However, I was not the only person who sits at that desk or who had an opportunity to vandalize it. You asked me why anyone else would have carved my name on the desk. That is, in my view, an unfair question. I suggested that someone might have wanted to get me in trouble. Also, though I didn’t like to make the suggestion, I also thought someone might have carved my name because the person had feelings for me.

Though you made your skepticism clear, you brought in the other students who sit at the desk and asked them if they had done the damage. Each of them denied responsibility. Their denials, unlike mine, satisfied you. You didn’t address the possibility that someone might have come into the classroom and done the damage during a break or some other period when the classroom was empty.

I intend to put this incident behind me once I have delivered this letter to you. Writing my side of what happened is to give me closure.

Sincerely,
