Answer 1

Answer:

The main idea of the essay is stated in a single sentence called the thesis statement. You must limit your entire essay to the topic you have introduced in your thesis statement.

Explanation:

Answer:

Several parts of the text indicate that the intended audience is educated adults who are interested in how products are made and how they work. The author goes into detail about purchasing and bagging items in a grocery store, which is a subject that adults have more experience with than kids.

In "The Necklace," Madame Loisel discovers, after working for ten years to pay off the expensive necklace she borrowed and lost, that the necklace was a fake (worth no more than 500 francs). This discovery is an example of which type of irony?

verbal

situational

dramatic

Answers

Answer:

I am not sure but I think it is situational

Explanation:

Answer:

Situational

Explanation:

The irony is situational because of the fact that Madame Loisel wanted to borrow the diamond necklace in the first place so that she would be closer to the life she wanted. Meaning higher in social class. However, this necklace ended up putting both her and her husband in poverty when she lost it, with the life she didnt want, after working for years to pay it off. When in the end they discovered it was fake and worth no more than 500 francs. This is why it is situational irony.

Hope this is helpful! :)

In "Charles," Laurie's mother discovers at the PTA meeting that there is no Charles in the kindergarten class. This discovery is an example of which type of irony?


verbal


dramatic


situational

MULTIPLE CHOICE

Answers

I believe the correct answer would be situational.

Verbal Irony: A figure of speech. Something said that isn’t meant literally, similar to an idiom.

Dramatic Irony: Something said or done to be humorous or sarcastic, typically something of the exact opposite of what was meant to be done.

Situational Irony: Something that happened, was said, done, etc, that was not expected.

Figuring out Charles is not even a student in the class is definitely not expected, even without the context of the story in the question.

Last year's Newburgh Film Festival was the most well attended in its short history. This should come as no surprise, though, as attendance has risen gradually in each of its nine years. This year, for the 10th anniversary, the festival will be moved from the Richmond High School auditorium to the Hudgins Performing Arts Center in downtown Newburgh. The main attraction, scheduled for the Saturday night of the weekend festival, is the premiere of Claude Lee's documentary Helper Monkey, which will be followed by a Q&A with the director himself. Tickets for this event are nearly sold out, but they can be purchased, along with all other festival passes, at the Hudgins Center box office or at any Quallick Farms grocery store.

Write a story of your adventure. (In your story, you must include dialogue, details, descriptions, a consistent point of view, and all the elements from the chart below.)

Answers

It would be nice to go back in time to see what life would be like if I had made different decisions. I believe that in the past, you can observe or interact with anyone you want, but you won't be able to affect the modern world. The day you spend there will disappear as soon as you return to the year you were in. The original day you spent there will appear again as soon as you return. Your presence at the alternate time will have no effect.

Also, why would we want to go to the future? You'll get there eventually. It's impossible to go back to the past, so why not take the chance?
