Julie read To Kill a Mockingbird and Romeo and Juliet, the assigned literature for English I, and decided to write a short narra

tive with a theme related to parental influence on children’s lives.
"Besides," she continued, "according to the weather forecasts, you may soon be returned home to San Antonio by the strength of some Gulf winds!"


This excerpt effectively uses irony to illustrate the theme ____.

by emphasizing the conflict about the weather forecasts between the mother and her daughter

through illustrating the different ways that the mother and daughter perceive the way that time will affect the weather situation

through stating that the mother has forgotten the girls have taken seasonal weather forecasts into account before planning their trip

by using humor when the mother suggests an exaggerated version or her previous statements about the weather reports

Answer:

The answer is your last option: <u>by using humor when the mother suggests an exaggerated version or her previous statements about the weather reports</u>

Explanation:

As you may know, Irony is the humorous -often- expression to say something or mean something but generally means the opposite. In this case, let's discard the other options first: the other options cannot simple be possible as the three of them put an emphasis on "the weather" --<em>conflict about weather forecasts, time affecting the weather situation, seasonal weather forecasts... </em>and that's actually not the point in this excerpt knowing the purpose, which is explained above. On the other hand, as mentioned, irony is "humorous" thus, the fact that the mother is saying "<em> be returned home to San Antonio by the strength of some Gulf winds!"  </em>apart of being humorous, it is also not and never possible to be returned by the wind! So that is irony!

The colonists had difficulty coming together to revolt because they:
emmainna [20.7K]

The correct answer is A. were not completely unified.


B is not correct because they don't need to read a pamphlet to decide that something is wrong and should be changed. C is incorrect because they definitely did have reason to fight - they wanted their independence. D is incorrect because it would be stupid to wait for someone to give you an approval before you can start rebelling.

This leaves us with A as the correct answer - some colonists didn't want to separate from Britain, and some did.

Story of the dog and 2 crow
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Once a dog found a piece of bone. He was eating it sitting under a tree. There sat a crow on the tree. It wished to take away the bone for itself. The crow was very cunning. It flew away. After some time it returned there with another crow. Both the crows went to the dog. One of them with the beak pulled the dog by his tail. The dog felt disturbed and annoyed. Again the crow bit the dog in his tail. The dog got very angry. He dropped the piece of bone on the ground and then looked back to see what the matter was. In the meantime the second crow picked up the bone and flew away with it. The dog ran after the crows but in vain. He was very sad.

Explanation:

Hope this helps! Thanks.

Option a. the beginning of a story, when the characters are introduced

Exposition is the insertion of the important background within a story. It is the process of scattering information through the text. Incluing is a technique in which the reader is gradually exposed to background  information about the world in which the story is set. The idea is to clue the readers into the world the author is building them without being aware of it.
