Answer:

Lines 21-25 makes all the difference when you look at the theme of the poem which speaks to Children Growing up and eventually leaving home.

Explanation:

The learning how to ride a bicycle is a metaphor for life.

Every other line seems to be talking about her eight-year-old daughter learning how to ride a bicycle. See lines 1-6.

Her surprise is ignited when her daughter starts "pumping away" at the pedals screaming with life. She is surprised to know that the mother-daughter experience as she knows it is over already. See lines 7-10.

But when you read those lines "like a handkerchief waving goodbye" all of a sudden the entire picture, the intended message hits you and you are almost moved to tears when you see from a mothers perspective how ti feels to quickly a daughter grow up and leave home.

Cheers!

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

The best option is letter B) "After a good dinner one can forgive anybody," joked a character in one of Oscar Wilde's plays, "even one's own reflections."

Explanation:

When quoting what someone said, even if it is a character in a play or a story, we must use quotation marks. Notice that they will separate the character's words from the words of the person who is quoting. Also, if a period or a comma must appear, they should come inside the quotation marks, not outside. Therefore, letter B is the best option because it follows those instructions.

B) "After a good dinner one can forgive anybody," joked a character in one of Oscar Wilde's plays, "even one's own reflections."

When Enrique was only five years old, his mother Lourdes made the decision to leave her children and go north to the United States. There in the United States she hopes to find work and support her struggling family back in Honduras.

Which sentence uses sarcasm to make a funny point?
aalyn [17]

Answer:

<em>My car looks brand new with its rusted fender and dented doors.</em>

Explanation:

Sarcasm is when someone say something opposite to the actual scenario, to mock something just to make it funny in a delighted way of humor. <em>"My car is brand new"</em> is totally opposite to <em>"it's rusted fender and dented doors". </em>

Clearly his car is old, has rusted fender and dented doors which means  poorly managed, but he for the sake of laugh or to make it funny mentioned it a brand new car.
