Answer: <em>Racing and sluggish.</em>
Explanation:
"Racing" and "sluggish" are the only two contrasting words - racing is a term we use for something fast-moving and active. Sluggish has the opposite meaning - slow-moving and inactive. "Swirling", for instance, means <em>moving in a twisting pattern</em>, which is not really in contrast with "dancing". Moreover, "racing" and "sluggish" are the only two words that describe the stream.
Answer: The Lion and the Tiger's words differ from their actions - instead of killing people as they planned, they help them.
Explanation:
<em>Irony</em> is a literary device in which a situation results in a completely different outcome than expected. In<em> "The Cowardly Lion and Hungry Tiger"</em>, L. Frank Baum's story, the Lion and the Tiger only appear to be brave - the Lion describes he will tear a person to pieces, while the Tiger plans to eat a fat baby. However, when they encounter a baby and a person, they help them instead of eating them. The Lion helps a person that falls down, while the Tiger finds a lost baby and brings it to its mother.
