Read the excerpt below and answer the question. …I had spoken too sudden, and said too much, and was in a close place. I asked h

er to let me think a minute…. So I went on studying it out. I says to myself, I reckon a body that ups and tells the truth when he is in a tight place, is taking considerable many resks, though I ain’t had no experience, and can’t say for certain; but it looks so to me, anyways; and yet here’s a case where I’m blest if it don’t look to me like the truth is better, and actuly safer, than a lie…. [I]t’s so kind of strange and unregular. I never see nothing like it. Well, I says to myself at last, I’m agoing to chance it. I’ll up and tell the truth this time, though it does seem most like setting down on a kag of powder and touching it off just to see where you’ll go to. What prompts Huck to tell the truth in this part of the story? He feels it is the right thing to do. He feels it is the safest thing to do. He wants the reward he will gain from it. He wants the con artists to get into trouble.

The correct answer is the following:<em> option a. What prompts Huck to tell the truth in that specific moment of the story is that he feels it is the best thing to do.</em> The excerpt shows how Huck is debating with himself what action he should take, if he should tell the truth or lie, and after considering it he decides that it looks that telling the truth will be the best option, and at least he needs to try it out since he has not a lot of experience with being honest, but he knows that when lying the chances of getting caught and being punished are big.

Slav-nsk [51]
Rosaline exemplifies false love because she is only briefly mentioned and never shown, and while Romeo made claims that he loved her, she's forgotten almost immediately after Juliet makes an appearance. Juliet is an example of true love, because Romeo devoted his heart and ultimately his life to her. He even planned to denounce his last name if it meant they could be together

Which statement best describes how dramatic irony is used in this passage? The reader knows that the human neighbors plan to des
LenKa [72]

The example that best describes it is the 1st one; since "dramatic irony" occurs when the audience (<em>readers</em>) understands what's going to happen, and knows about certain characters' actions, or event, and the characters are unaware of it; hence the characters actions go on a different way.

The tactic is used to make the audience more involved; thus it often creates this feeling of being powerless in the readers' mind, to do anything about it.

So the best statement is: "<em>The reader knows that the human neighbors plan to destroy Animal Farm</em>"
