Answer:

C.) “The children moved listlessly towards the aunt’s end of the carriage.”

E.) “In a low, confidential voice, interrupted at frequent intervals by loud, petulant questionings from her listeners, she began an unenterprising and deplorably uninteresting story about a little girl who was good.”

Explanation:

These are the two options that provide examples of situational irony. We learn that the girl only knows a single line of verse, which she repeats a couple thousand times. We can imagine this is not amusing or appreciated. Therefore, the aunt interrupts and promises a story. Although the reader expects this entertainment to be better than the one the girl provided, the irony is that the children do not want to listen to it, and that the aunt's story is just as boring.

Have you ever had to adjust your communication style to engage a customer or teammate? what was the situation and the outcome?

stealth61 [152]

Most of the people in a third world country who deals with a lot of tourists or foreigners can relate to this. There will always be a language barrier that you should be wary of. I had worked as a tour-guide once and I had Japanese customers with me. As you may know, most of Japanese people have a hard time speaking in or understanding English and if they don't, they somehow find it difficult to pronounce some words. As a tour-guide, I need to speak slowly and clearly so that they will be able to understand every word that I say. In turn, they respond and ask questions to me which means that they are hesitant to do so.
