When Lawrence saw the posters for the circus hanging on the bulletin board, as he swept up the trimmings at Slim's Barbershop, h

e knew he would be taking his little cousins. They loved animals, and he was looking forward to seeing the smiles on their faces as the circus performers amazed them with their stunts. But sweeping up hair clippings didn't pay a whole lot. Lawrence spent 45 dollars just getting tickets. But it was worth it to see his cousins' faces. The day finally came and everyone was excited as they walked into that big circus tent. But Lawrence soon realized that he and his cousins would be thirsty and hungry. As they sat in their seats, the drink vendor walked by selling beverages. Desperately thirsty, Lawrence asked him how much a lemonade would cost, and the drink vendor said, "Eleven dollars each." Lawrence replied, "Oh, that's it? Just eleven dollars? What a great deal for one cup of lemonade. That's totally worth it." The drink vendor walked away.

Answer:

C. Verbal

Explanation:

When you are trying to understand irony, the very essence of it is that something happens which is unexpected. Or something happens which is the opposite of the usual, intended meaning.

This story is about some guy who wants to take his kids to the circus. We know that this guy has a bad job and just BARELY manages to get by... he doesnt get paid well...

So do you know what sarcasm is? It's when people say stuff in a mocking way, where what they say isnt what they ACTUALLY MEAN. When this guy hears about this vendor asking for ELEVEN DOLLARS for a cup of lemonade... That's kind of messed up. But notice that this isnt specifically what creates the irony.

It's what comes out of Lawrence's mouth. "Oh, really? Just eleven dollars? That's <em>totally</em> worth it!" That's not what he actually means. He's being sarcastic with his words. He's using verbal irony.

The main conflict of Their Eyes Were Watching God occurs in _____. Eatonville, Florida Janie’s mind Pheoby’s imagination the Eve
GalinKa [24]

Answer: The right answer is Eatonville, Florida.

Explanation: Although part of this story by Zora Neale Hurston takes place in the Everglades (Janie and her third husband live for a period of time there), I would contend that the main conflict occurs in the city of Eatonville, since it is there where the story begins, with a confident and exultant Janie returning home, but without her husband. The townspeople start speculating about their relationship and her husband's whereabouts, and they soon distrust her, but her friend Phoebe believes in her and she listens attentively as Janie recounts the true story of what happened - which also gives the reader an opportunity to know about the story of her life.

The entries in Anne's diary are written between June 12, 1942 and August 1, 1944. The entries start when she got her diary, and stop when her family is found and taken away to the camp. Anne's perspective tends to grow a lot more mature. She thinks about things in a more methodical way, and understands her flaws and mistakes.
