Why is the resolution of "Ruthless” an example of situational irony?

English
1 answer:
sp2606 [1]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

<em>Situational irony only applies if there was a reasonable expectation of the opposite occurring. In "Ruthless," for example, Judson knows about the poison, and there is no reasonable expectation that he will drink it himself. Both he and his wife believe it will kill an unsuspecting thief.</em>

Select the sentence that is punctuated correctly.
rosijanka [135]
B. 
<span>Unemployment is high in many fields, but there are jobs available in telecommunications.


A comma is used when it is placed after the end of one independent clause and the beginning of another which follows one such clause. The two independent clauses must be joined with words known as co-ordinating conjunctions. Examples of such words are, but, and,or so etc. 
In this sentence but is used, </span>preceded by a comma so it is the right one.
