Read the excerpt from "The Gift of the Magi." "Isn't it a dandy, Jim? I hunted all over town to find it. You'll have to look at

the time a hundred times a day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it." Instead of obeying, Jim tumbled down on the couch and put his hands under the back of his head and smiled. "Dell," said he, "let's put our Christmas presents away and keep 'em a while. They're too nice to use just at present. I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. And now suppose you put the chops on." Which best describes the use of irony in this excerpt?

Which of the following calls to action is implied?
Licemer1 [7]
With the exception of option A, all sentences are written in imperatives (verb structure used for instructions and/or oders) Therefore, in these examples, the <em>call to action</em> is explicit, not implicit. Your best answer is option A because, apart from the fact that it's the only viable one, here you have a persuasive example by consensus. Simply put, instead of telling you directly to do something, it's telling you that everyone is doing it, which is likely to make you want to do it if you want to be like them.
