The correct answer is C. The desire to improve education leads to a future in which students have to take aptitude tests as early as preschool

Explanation:

The word irony refers to an incongruency between expectation about a situation and the real outcomes of it or between the meaning of the words and the real intentions of a speaker. This is considered a literary device that is included in many literary works with different purposes. On the other hand, Science fiction refers to a literary genre that explores fictional and futurists realities, usually related to science, space exploration, and technology. Because of this, it is common in some case science fiction uses irony to show the advances of science and technology might not have the outcomes expected.

This is the case of the premise "The desire to improve education leads to a future in which students have to take aptitude tests as early as preschool" because this premise shows contrast or incongruence between the expectation of improving education and the real outcome which is absurd and does not really contribute to education. Therefore, the premise of science fiction that works as an example of irony is option C. "The desire to improve education leads to a future in which students have to take aptitude tests as early as preschool".

Satire depends on the audience recognizing and agreeing with the satirist's implicit criticism of his or her target. How effecti
Montano1993 [528]

<span>Satire is a genre of literature in which individuals, corporation, government or society are ridiculed in purpose of constructive social criticism, using wit to draw attention to both particular and wider issues in society in order to correct or shape opinions and behavior. But, satire can’t be effective in shaping behavior or opinions if the audience is always in on the joke and never being targeted. The effectiveness of satiric work is mirrored in sole comprehension of the targeted group of individuals that they are wrong, and should correct their opinions and behavior. Many satiric writers believe that satires should be medicine disguised as candy, so it would be easier for targeted group to accept it. If only non-targeted audience comprehend the joke (main idea of satiric work), the satire would not be effective as they agree with author’s criticism and there is no need for them to correct their behavior nor their opinions.</span>

PLS HELPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Read the conclusion. Merri shows several different ways that she is adventurous. She has explored many
STatiana [176]

Answer:

This conclusion lacks to specify the adventures Merri had and the countries in which they were lived.

Explanation:

There is no evidence that Merri really is an adventurer so that the above text is really a conclusion, for this reason it is necessary to add specific experiences about the adventures that Merri lived, thus showing the place where these adventures took place.

In other words, we can say that the conclusion lacks specificity and shows no real adventures so that we can conclude that Merri is really an adventurer.
