English
1 answer:
Aleksandr-060686 [28]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

"My uncle was arrested another time-did I tell you?-for being a pedestrian."

"You know, I'm not afraid of you... So many people are. Afraid of firemen, I mean."

"I'm seventeen and I'm crazy. My uncle says the two always go together. When people ask your age, he said, always say seventeen and insane."

Explanation:

Irony is a literary term that is used to convey the opposite meaning of what is intended, usually to create humor or emphasis. There are different types of irony such as:

1. Dramatic irony: where the audience knows the outcome, but the actors do not.

2. Verbal irony: when a person says something totally different from what they mean

3. Tragic Irony: this is a type of dramatic irony, but the audience is aware of an incoming tragedy.

Read the excerpt from “Like Mexicans.”
zimovet [89]
The correct answer is C. <span>Soto relates a story from his life to make a point about what it means to live in a multicultural society.

The other answers can be eliminated because this excerpt is not criticizing marriage, presenting guidelines on how to live, or showing how one's heritage can limit choices.

Instead, he is relating a story from his life to show what it means to live in a multicultural society. Ultimately, even though people may be from different cultures, they still share many similarities. This is made clear by the final line: Her people were like Mexicans, only different.</span>

Which sentence has a misplaced modifier?
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer: B. In school, my mother encouraged me to join the band.

The modifier in this case is misplaced as it makes it sound like the mother was at school when she gave the advice. Modifiers can be very important to the structure of a sentence as they can significantly change the meaning if misplaced.

All the other examples express the meaning of the sentence clearly.
