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?

Semenov [28]

Answer:

I also agree with this statement because the only thing Frida Kahlo had was art. As you know, she suffered a trolley-car accident and art was her only salvation. So, we could say that painting helped Frida to express her feelings and overcome the hardest moments in her life.

Explanation:

Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) was the most famous Mexican painter, thanks to her portraits, self-portraits, and paintings inspired by Mexican nature, history, and society.

She was attending medical school until a traffic accident, which made her partially disabled and caused her a lot of physical pain and health problems.

The painting was her only distraction from her health and private problems, which was also was confirmed with her numerous quotes about art, as:

“Painting completed my life”, “The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration”, etc.

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

C: She wishes to calm Mary and cover up her own lack of composure.

Explanation:

Jane Austen's "Persuasion" revolves around the life of a young woman named Anne Elliot and her struggles with family, love, and friendship. The novel deals with the common themes of social status, class rigidity, marriage, and one's profession as deemed 'fit' in a society.

In the given passage from the text, Mary revealed she saw Mr. Elliot and Mrs. Clay together which Anne denied for Mr. Elliot <em>"was to leave Bath at nine this morning, and does not come back till to-morrow."</em> But when Mary insisted it was them, Anne had no choice but to go and see for herself. She did it mainly to calm Mary and also to hide her embarrassment in not knowing what is really going on or who Mr. Elliot really is.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
