Which scenario shows an example of situational irony? Portia says she believes Brutus, when really, she thinks he is lying to her. Brutus lies to Portia about his health, knowing that he is fine. The audience knows that Brutus is actually ill even though Brutus does not. Brutus says that he is about to do something that will make him well, but his actions bring about his death.

Answers

Answer:

Brutus says that he is about to do something that will make him well, but his actions bring about his death.

Explanation:

Situational irony is a type of irony when the expected outcome is the opposite of what is said. In other words, situational irony is when what one expects did not happen, or rather the opposite happens.

In William Shakespeare's "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar", the situational irony occurs when Brutus reveals that he is going to do something that will make him well. But the irony is that instead of making things well for him, the actions rather led to his death.

Thus, the correct answer is the last/ fourth option.

The Road Not Taken
by Robert Frost


And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Answers

Taste like candy sweet like fruit ooh
In the beginning of the poem, Frost, writes in an melancholy tone. This can be seen in the section where he says “and sorry I could not travel both”. As the poem continues it as if he is glad that he took the road less traveled because it proposed more opportunities and has made a better impact. This can be seen in the following section “I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference”. Overall, I believe that the theme of the poem is change and in this case, for the better.

Hope this helps! :)

Change into following sentences into passive.

a. Angela speaks English.
B. He is feeling a dog.
C. Johan has planted a tree.
D. Anu can speak Chinese. ​

Answers

Answer:

b. Have you ever been bitten by a dog?

Explanation:

The ground rules to change active voice in passive voice are:

The places of subject and object are interchanged.

3rd form of the verb (past participle) is always used as the main verb in the passive voice. This applies to all tenses.

The word 'by' is generally used before the subject.

The given sentence is an example of the present perfect tense. The formula to convert a present perfect tense sentence in passive voice is an object of the active sentence + has/have +been + past participle form of the verb + by + subject of the active sentence.  

Thus, the passive voice for the given sentence - Have you ever been bitten by a dog?

Hence, option B is the correct answer according to the rules.

-How dogs are domesticated​

Answers

Here is the answer… Dogs may have become domesticated because of our ancestors had way more meat than they could eat. During the bad ice age, hunter-gatherers may have shared any surplus with wolves, which became their pets. Of corse genetic evidence suggests that dogs split from their wolf ancestors between 27,000 and 40,000 years ago. Hope this helps!

Read this excerpt from Stephen Crane’s The Blue Hote:

The Palace Hotel at Fort Romper was painted a light blue, a shade that is on the legs of a kind of heron, causing the bird to declare its position against any background. The Palace Hotel, then, was always screaming and howling in a way that made the dazzling winter landscape of Nebraska seem only a gray swampish hush.

Which type of narration is represented in this excerpt?
A.
First person
B.
Third person, objective
C.
Third person, limited
D.
Third person, omniscient

Answers

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The light blue color of the hotel is described in the passage as being the type of light blue that stands out anywhere. Because the hotel stood alone not far from the rest of the smaller more nondescript buildings of the town, it made an even greater impression on the travellers.

The strategic combination of the location of the hotel and the winter scenery would not have been sufficient without the huge added bonuses the hotel's strikingly captivating color scheme.
