It's been a while since i read this, but one example of dramatic irony in this play would be that the audience knows that the old woman is the one that the man is looking for, but he doesn't realize it because he is expecting a young, beautiful girl.

Answer:

In <em>“Crossroads: A Sad Vaudeville”</em> the purpose of using dramatic irony is to build suspense towards the man’s reaction.  

Explanation:

Dramatic irony refers to the audience knowing more than some characters in a play. One example of dramatic irony can be found in the following sentence: <em>“Shall I tell him that I’m that woman he’s waiting for?”</em> In this case, the public is aware that she is the woman he longes. However, since she is not as young as he expects, he is ignorant of that fact.

Answer: B. One's endless hunger

Explanation:

In this poem titled "<em>The Coming of Night"</em>, the poet, Linda Pastan alludes to the end of life and the acceptance of it because a time will come when we will have to stop acting in a certain way and just accept that it is time to leave the world.

She speaks of how humans will lose not only the feeling of being ambitious but the endless hunger to acquire and conquer more as well by relating these to lights and flames that will go out or be extinguished.

Read the passage below and answer the question.Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist. He who would gather immortal palms
____ [38]

Answer:

Believe in yourself instead of conforming to the values of others.

Explanation:

Philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson in his essay "Self Reliance" argue about the effect of polite society on an individual's personal growth. Only self sufficiency is capable of providing freedom to an individual in discovering their true self and worth, bringing forth true independence on the individual.

He emphasized on the importance of an individual to follow their own voices rather than trying to conform to the dictates and values set by the society. He posits the issue of self reliance in oneself and the importance of the imaginary thinking capacity of an individual. He also argues that the most important realization for an individual is trusting himself. He promotes self reliance as an ideal virtue for everyone. "Believe in yourself instead of conforming to the values of others" best sums up the passage provided in the question.
