Answer:

'The Puritans came to this country for religious freedom, but they then persecuted others for their religion which made the colony almost as bad as the place they had left.'

Explanation:

The irony is described as the literary device that the author employs to portray the incongruity that exists between the expectations and the reality of what actually happens. This device is employed either to emphasize a particular idea indirectly.

In the given excerpt, the irony that is displayed in this statement would be that 'however, they were urging the church of England to provide them with their own liberty but the Puritans offered a very little freedom to their members' <u>which reflects the incongruity between the expectations and the reality</u>. Their expectation was outplayed when they transformed the place into even worse than they had left previously.

Read the passage.
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is: It is made up of a rhyme scheme of abab, cdcd.

Explanation:

In this sonnet, Shakespeare describes chronicles which contain some beautiful descriptions of the past where he notice the beauty of the youth and the young man.

The syntax of the Sonnet 106 is characterised by a specific rhyme scheme of abab, cdcd, as we can see from the excerpt above. In this excerpt, the first line is rhyming with the third (<em>time </em>rhymes with <em>rhyme</em>), the second line rimes with the fourth (<em>wights </em>rhymes with <em>knights</em>), etc.

When in the chronicle of wasted <u>time</u>

I see descriptions of the fairest wights,

And beauty making beautiful old <u>rhyme</u>,

In praise of ladies dead and lovely knights,

Then in the blazon of sweet beauty's <u>best</u>

Of hand, of foot, of lip, of eye, of brow,

I see their antique pen would have <u>express'd</u>

Even such a beauty as you master now.
