What is an example of situational irony in the excerpt? “‘Her great tragedy happened just three years ago,’ said the child; ‘tha

t would be since your sister’s time.’” “‘Her tragedy?’ asked Framton; somehow in this restful country spot tragedies seemed out of place.” “She rattled on cheerfully about the shooting and the scarcity of birds, and the prospects for duck in the winter. To Framton it was all purely horrible.” “‘I hope you don’t mind the open window,’ said Mrs. Sappleton briskly; ‘my husband and brothers will be home directly from shooting, and they always come in this way.’”

Answer:

"She rattled on cheerfully about the shooting and the scarcity of birds, and the prospects for duck in the winter. To Framton it was all purely horrible."

Explanation:

From the book "The Open Window" by Saki, there is a narrative of Framton waiting for Mrs Sappleton and during his wait, he gets talking with her niece who informs him that there was a tragedy that happened.

She tells him that Mrs Sappleton's husband and two brothers went out for hunting but never came back but since the incident, Mrs Sappleton is still not over the shock and acts as if they would walk in anytime that's why she always leaves the window open till dusk, waiting for them.

This is an example of a situational irony because a situational irony is a type of irony in which the action has an opposite effect on what is intended.

Framton's discovery of the tragedy by the niece is an opposite of what he expected when he came looking for Mrs Sappleton.

How does Greta Thunberg and Sylvia Stults explore climate change?
Elena L [17]

Answer and Explanation:

Sylvia Stults explored climate change through poetry and literature. She was able to write a very influential poem, where she was able to point out in an incisive way the negative impacts of environmental pollution, where climate changes were associated. Sylvia Stults, in her poem, shows how nature has been negatively modified over the years, causing degradation, dishonest and excessive exploitation and contamination of what is essential for our life, nature.

Greta Thunberg, on the other hand, approaches environmental changes in a more political way, drawing the attention of directives of great leaders and political organizations so that they can fix the environmental problems they have created, thus guaranteeing a future for children who are not responsible for pollution, degradation and climatic changes that are being submitted.
