Irony is the use of words that are the opposite of their intended meanings. The example provided above is an example of;

  • Situational irony

The example provided above is known as situational irony. Situational irony occurs when the results obtained during an event are the opposite of what should be expected.

In the case of the English settlers described, situational irony is the case because the passage reported that they took good care of their teeth, but the findings from the archaeologists show that their use of tooth powders resulted in tooth decay.

The opposite of the intended result is therefore the case. So, this is situational irony.

"Juana, considering the matter, threw caution to the winds."
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

(<em>Infinitive Phrase) to the winds</em>, (Gerund) Considering<u>, (Verbal phrase) - </u>

<u>Threw. </u>

Explanation:

Considering is the Gerund in this sentence.

Threw is the Verbal Phrase

"Juana, considering the matter, <u>threw</u> caution to the winds."

I cant write the same explantion because I forgot but, i hope you got all the notes that I did for you down..

But I can try to summarize

Verbal Phrase- It has to do with the action. For example: to the shopping mall or to the Candy Store.

Gerund- Always ends in<em> -ing </em>and if the verb is put in past tense then it ends in <em>-ed.</em>

Participle Phrase: A participle is a verbal ending in -ing (present) or -ed, -en, -d, -t, -n, or -ne (past) that functions as an adjective, modifying a noun or pronoun. A participial phrase consists of a participle plus modifier(s), object(s), and/or complement(s).

If this gets deleted again please take a picture before so you can remember.

I hope this helped!

Lethargic : vital :: trite :
soldier1979 [14.2K]
Lethargic means lazy, depressed, whereas vital means full of life. As you can see, these two words are antonyms, meaning that they have completely different meanings. So, in order to finish the analogy, we need to find the antonym of the word trite. Trite means cliche, overused, so its antonym would be original, unique, or something in that vein.
So, the correct answer could be original.
