Answer:

Though Hauchecorne is a rogue, what most harms his reputation is the innocent act of picking up string from the ground.

Explanation:

Situational irony occurs when what is experienced in a story does not happen, on the contrary, what happens is something totally unpredictable and that the reader neither expected nor was appropriate to happen. An example of this is that Hauchecorne, instead of being accused of the crimes he actually did, is accused and convicted of something he didn't do, because of a situation where he is completely innocent, like picking up ropes from the floor.

by writing a respectful rebuttal in my next post

The best way to present a counter-argument would be to write it in a respectful manner in your next post, where you would show the reasons why you do not agree with the argument of the readers of your blog, but showing that you understand and respect their opinion. That way you show how you have self control, how to deal with situations where people disagree with you, in addition to showing that you are a serious writer and committed to what you believe in, in addition to being open to dialogue and opposing opinions.

NeX [460]

Answer:

"Provisional drivers could each save up to £500 on their car insurance by undertaking advanced driving lessons," the government has confirmed.

"We want people to go on improving their driving skills throughout their driving careers," said David Ashworth, a junior minister at the Department for Transport. "This is about creating the right sort of education and incentivising people to do it."

Explanation:

You haven't provided the complete question, but I found a similar one online. I assume that your task is to correct punctuation, especially quotation marks.

Quotation marks are used in direct speech - when you want to relay someone's words in the exact way they were spoken. Quoted words will be framed by quotation marks. In this case, the reporting clause (the part that doesn't contain quoted words) will be separated from quoted words by a comma. Commas and periods are always included inside the quotation marks, as you can see in the Answer section.

These support the claim because they both address why E-waste is harmful. The cell phone reason is more about people not having them rather than their harm to the ecosystems. Cans, plastic, and paper are not considered E-waste so it doesn't support the claim.</span>
