Which scenarios are examples of verbal irony? Select two options. Your best friend is concerned that you are not feeling well. “

You sound like you’ve nearly lost your voice,” she says. After finally finishing your paper for history, you drop it in a puddle of water. “Oh great! That is just what I need!” you exclaim. You are at the zoo when it starts to rain, and the elephants emerge from their stall. “The elephants seem to love the rain,” you say. Your mom comes into your room and sees clothes strewn on the floor. “I think you’re going to win an award for cleanliness,” she says. You explain to your little brother why you know that Romeo and Juliet will not turn out well. “It says at the beginning that they are star-crossed lovers.”

Verbal irony is the use of words that express one thing with the intention of expressing the opposite.

In the options that were given, we can see examples of verbal irony in the following cases:

After finally finishing your paper for history, you drop it in a puddle of water. “Oh great! That is just what I need!” you exclaim.

and

Your mom comes into your room and sees clothes strewn on the floor. “I think you’re going to win an award for cleanliness,” she says.


In both cases, the person means the opposite of what they said. You don't really believe the paper falling in a puddle of water is something good, as well as your mother doesn't really think your room is clean.

what can you infer about gulliver's relationship with the lilliputians based on the way he walks around their city?
Simora [160]

Answer:

I can infer that he was a little nervous to be in a foreign land. Specially, the lilliputians were so tiny and the whole city was done to the Lilliputians' measure and Gulliver was really tall and big to fit inside this city. The houses were too small, the city was designed to small people and Gulliver did not represent that kind of people. They saw Gulliver as an enemy who was going to finish with their small city. The Lilliputians tied Gulliver up to avoid he escaped from there. After The Lilliputians trusted on Gulliver he walked carefully inside the city to avoid breaking elements inside the city. It meant that The Lilliputians started to trust on Gulliver.

Besides that, Gulliver has to deal with the internal war divided in two parties. He had to listen to both postures about the city from the different movements the Lilliput and Blefuscu.

Explanation:

When Gulliver could talk to the Lilliputians, he stared to talk and admire the way they constructed and the ability they had to construct mechanical elements. The Lilliputians were admired that a foreign person felt nice with their constructions and for this reason they let Gulliver walked inside the city.

24 colour tiles because if you convert 3/4 to a percent, it is 75%.
75% of 32 is 24 (After converting the percent to a decimal -> 32 x 0.75 = 24)
