Answer:

D.Mr. Covey's attempts to break Douglass's will with oppressive violence only serve to inspire Douglass to seek his freedom.

Explanation:

Situational Irony is the type of irony that occurs when a situation is opposite of what someone was expecting.

Option D is the best answer as it is the best example of situational irony, because Mr. Covey tried to break Douglas' will with oppressive violence but the result he got was the opposite of what he expected, which was a burning desire for Douglas to get freedom.

The correct answer is A. The squirrel, who ran in circles around the circumference of the tree, chattered angrily at the curious cat.

Explanation:

This sentence is a complex one, which means it is composed by an independent clause, which is a sentence that express a complete idea and a dependent clause, which is a type of sentence that provides extra information linked to a independent  clause and depends on it to be complete, as dependent clauses are just extra information and can be omitted they are always marked by commas (,) or similar punctuation marks. In this case, the main sentence is "The squirrel chattered angrily at the curious cat" as it expresses the main idea, on the other hand "who ran in circles around the circumference of the three" is just extra information (dependent clause) and thus should be between commas. Thus, A is the correct revision as this sentence contains a dependent clause that according to grammar should be between commas.

The answer is :

We can observe that although the author could have simply finished the story in a conventional way he opted for adding an epigraph in order to highlight the concept of deaths and hell (and society's -mis-conceptions of both)
