Which phrase or sentence in this excerpt from Kurt Vonnegut's "Report on the Barnhouse Effect" demonstrates the use of irony?
Iteru [2.4K]

The phrases or sentences in the above excerpt from Kurt Vonnegut's "Report on the Barnhouse Effect" which demonstrates the use of irony is:

 “The television screens showed, from left to right, the stretch of desert which was the rocket target,”

“Ninety minutes before H-hour the radios announced that the rockets were ready, that the observation ships had backed away to what was thought to be a safe distance,”


Kurt Vonnegut's short story "Report on the Barnhouse Effect" is an example of postmodernism because of the use of irony on a serious topic.

He expresses his feelings about the war with his personal experience. His reaction to the war, bombings and the ills of scientific advancement brought distress in his life. He accepted the deaths as the result of the war in a very casual manner. Throughout the stories, he uses irony and sarcasm to bring the effects of the war in a different look. Using irony and sarcasm to describe serious topics like war and destruction is one of the characteristics of postmodern literature.

What best describes the differences between Mr. Brown and Mr. Smith? Select all that apply.
rjkz [21]
The answer is C. Mr. Brown headed the mission with a composed mind, placidness, and tolerance. He doesn't attempt to foist his religion on the tribe yet leads by living illustration.

<span>At the point when Brown turns out to be sick and should leave, he is supplanted by the passionate Reverend Smith. He is the inverse of Brown, boisterous, pushy and trusts that he is "correct" and the tribe is "off-base". He has no regret about pushing his own particular religious perspectives down their throats. Anybody sufficiently strong to conflict with him is thought to be a fallen angel admirer.</span>

25. Which sentence is punctuated correctly? “Thunder is good,” said Mark Twain, “But it is lightning that does the work.” “Thund
ivolga24 [154]

Answer: 2. "Thunder is good," said Mark Twain, "but it is lightning that does the work."

Explanation: the correct answer is the second option because first, it has a comma before and after "said Mark Twain", which is correct because when we use quotation marks and we want to add information (like who said it) between two phrases, we need to put it between two commas. The other that makes this option correct is that "but" doesn't begin with a capital letter, this is correct because it is a continuation of the first quote, it shouldn't begin in a capital letter.
