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.

Anton [14]

Answer:

B. Those with moderate knowledge of technology

Explanation:

When we're writing a text or preparing a speech, we need to pay attention to whom our audience will consist of. This will allow us to adjust our language and the information we include so that we are well-understood by the audience.

When writing this article, the author probably had in mind those with moderate knowledge of technology. The article describes a very complex concept, which is why it's not aimed at someone who knows nothing about technology. However, the author put it in layman's terms. This is why we can conclude that it is not intended for developers of AI programs or those with deep knowledge of technology. The effects of human behavior are not the topic of the article, which is why those who study it are not the target audience.

This is why option B is the correct one.

Vika [28.1K]
BOTH TECHNICIAN A AND B ARE CORRECT.
Coolants are installed in vehicles to prevent overheating. When new, the coolants are usually basic in nature, that is, they have pH above 7 but with time the pH decreases. Also, OAT and HOAT coolant have pH values which is lower than that of old green IAT coolant when newly bought.
