Answer:

The examples of irony that saki uses to create satire are:

* Bertha is sad that she will not be tempted.

* Pigs are more important than flowers.

Explanation:

First of all, it is important to state the meaning of irony and satire, irony is to express something meaning to say another thing, or when the events happen contrary to what they are expected to be, while satire is the use of comedy to make fun of the flaws of others, this excerpt uses irony by showing that Bertha was expecting to be tempted to take some beautiful flowers while ironically there were no flowers at all, and the garden does not have flowers for the second irony which is selecting pigs over flowers in a garden, thing that not many people would do.

I think it would be " The moon has lost her memory". This is the best answer because when a person holds a grudge, it means to say that the person continues to think about what the things angered him the most. It would always be remembered until such time he was able to forget everything. In this line, it means to say that the moon does not remember any bad memory or events that would make her feel bad about

Read this excerpt from "Crossing the Bar" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Which two lines are examples of a dependent clause?

barxatty [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is B)

Explanation:

A) First, a clause is an incomplete sentence or a group of words that can't stand alone or one that does not have meaning standing by itself.

B) Furthermore, it must have a verb and a subject.

A verb, if you recall is an action word while a subject is "the person or thing being referred to".

Looking at the clauses in option B we can see that they both meet the above conditions.

Let's see clause one - "And may there be no moaning of the bar, "

It is clear that the verb here is "moaning" while the subject is "the Bar".

It's clear to see that these group of words meet the conditions given in A and B above because left by themselves, they make no meaning.

Let's take a look at the second clause:

"When I put out to sea,"

"I" here is the subject. It is a pronoun. A pronoun is simply a word that can be used instead of the noun. That is a noun can easily but inserted in the place of "I". Hence, we have "I" as the subject.

"Put Out" here is a verb which means to relocate.

So "When I put out to sea" also meets the conditions in A and B above.

Cheers!

Theme is uncovered through the characters and events of a story. Which two events express Janie’s underlying belief that true lo

ddd [48]

The two events that most relate to Janie's view that true love is the key to happiness are when she meets Tea Cake, and when her image of Jody is shattered after he hits her. This is because when Janie meets Tea Cake, her whole world view changes. He treats her as an equal, and she can be herself around him. Once she falls for him, it changes essentially everything for her.

Janie's image of Jody "shattering" is also representative of this view of Janie's, because it represents what can happen to one's happiness when they don't have true love. Janie thought fairly highly of Jody, and she loved him, but when he hits her, her happiness and love for him is gone.
