Answer:

D. In the ensuing fight, Victor breaks his watch, which is worth over $1,000.

Explanation:

Irony is a rhetorical device used to express something that happens contrary of what was expected. in other words, when an expected action did not happen and the contrary happens instead, it is known or termed as an irony.

In the given scenario, Victor's anger in finding out that his $500 is missing resulted in the fight with suspected Gil. But an ironic outcome would be if the fight resulted in the damage of Victor's watch which is worth more than the actual amount for which he started the fight.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Why is 1898 considered a turning point in U.S. history
Gemiola [76]
It was considered a turning point, because at the time the U.S. was in the American-Spanish war. It took place from April to August in 1898. the war ended in victory for the United States and the end of the Spanish Empire in the Pacific and <span>Caribbean</span>. Only ~113 days after the outbreak of war, the Treaty of Paris, which ended the conflict, gave the United States control over the former Spanish colonies of Puerto Rico, the Philippines and Guam, and control over the process of independence of Cuba, which was completed in 1902.

What events caused the unification of Germany? explain what happened
Kryger [21]

The creation of the German Confederation in 1815 was largely in reaction to the growing sense of German nationalism, which had not existed in Europe prior to the 19th century. While strains of nationalism certainly existed before the turn of the century, it was France's conquest of the German lands in the first decade of the 19th century that first fully aroused German nationalists into proposing a unified, German state. Indeed, J.G. Fichte's Addresses to the German Nation, given in Berlin in 1808, called on Germans to unite under their common language and traditions.

Perhaps no other statesman was in such a fine position to make this dream a reality as the Chancellor of Prussia during the mid-19th century, Otto von Bismarck. Bismarck was a fervent German nationalist who wanted a German nation, but specifically one dominated by his Prussia. As a result, once appointed, Chancellor Bismarck set out to strengthen and improve the Prussian army and gain international allies that would help Prussia on its way to unifying Germany.

According to her employer Mrs. Hobbs, what was Ellen's status in New York? She was a free young woman she was "given" to Mr Hobb
marta [7]

Answer:

She was a free young woman.

Explanation:

Harriet Jacob's "Incidents In The Life Of A Slave Girl" is a memoir that provides a narrative in the life of a slave woman. The book delves into the system of slavery, and how Linda( protagonist and a pseudonym for Harriet) had to endure hardships and obstacles to be united with her family amidst her fight for personal freedom and family life.

Mrs. Hobbs is the cousin of Mr. Sands, the father of Linda's children. In chapter XXVII, Mrs. Hobb's letter to Linda's grandmother revealed that Linda's daughter Ellen was <em>"given"</em> to her, to be <em>"[her] little waiting maid"</em>. She went on further to state the condition of Ellen's 'presence' in the Hobbs' house, revealing:<em> "I shall send her to school, and I hope someday she will write to you herself."</em>

This shows that Ellen was 'given' to Mrs. Hobbs but that doesn't mean she is a slave and Mrs. Hobbs liked to believe that she is rather a free young woman while still under them.
