Tituba's prayer is an example of dramatic irony because she prays to God only to show off to the people.
<u>EXPLANATION:</u>
- Dramatic irony occurs in a play when the audience knows the situation in the play and understands it, but the character doesn't understand the same.
- The words and the actions of the characters are often contradictory in this case.
- Tituba is a woman from Barbados who does black magic and she prays to God just to show to the people about her believes in God and is on God's side.
- But she was the one who did black magic, planned the dance in the forest and conjured the bad souls.
- Thus, her act is an example of dramatic irony.
Oceans produce approximately 80 percent of the oxygen our planet needs to support animal life. Pollution that reaches the ocean through dumping, oil leaks, runoff, and other processes interferes with that oxygen production and poses a real threat to the oxygen content in our atmosphere. If the oxygen content decreases, it is likely that carbon dioxide will increase. This could have dramatic consequences for life as we know it.<span> </span>
Answer:
A. In pedometer, ped comes from the Latin pedis, which means "foot."
Explanation:
Etymology is the study of the history of words. Basically, you want to find out the origins of the word. Therefore, A is the correct choice as it describes how the word "pedometer" came to be, originating from the Latin word meaning foot. Etymology is not the synonyms, definition, or pronunciation of a word and thus you can rule out B, C, and D.
Overall, either by ruling out choices or by the definition of etymology, A is the correct answer.
