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.

<span>1. </span>I believe the correct answer is B. The stream of consciousness technique.

 

This excerpt is an example of Woolf's use of the stream of consciousness technique as an experimental narrative form. This technique allowed her to present inner though process of multiple characters throughout the text (in this excerpt the thoughts of Septimus).

 

<span>2. </span>I believe the correct answer is C. intense anxiety and fear.

 

From a description of the scene, we are transported into the mind of the harrowed war soldier, Septimus. The words such as wavered, quivered, burst, and throb, give us a sense of his intense anxiety and fear.

 

<span>3. </span>I believe the correct answer is: C. "Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold."

 

The description of the scene is reminiscent of the following line from a poem “The Second coming” by William Butler Yeats is "Things fall apart; the center cannot hold." Septimus believes that he is the one stopping the world from bursting to flames:” It is I who am blocking the way, he thought. Was he not being looked at and pointed at; was he not weighted there, rooted to the pavement, for a purpose?”

Read the two passages from Sugar Changed the World. Slave owners fought back, arguing that owners should be able to list their s
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Both passages use evidence to show that knowledge of the extreme brutality of the sugar trade changed viewpoints about enslavement.

Explanation:

The author's main idea is the fact that sugar, even though it had caused all the atrocities it had caused, changed people's impressions of slavery.

All this was due to the fact that with the Age of Sugar, slavery became brutal as ever. And people were noticing it. Lemerre Younger was the first one to protest, declaring <em>equal rights for all</em>. And it -

<em>began to spread — toppling kings, overturning governments, transforming the entire world</em>.

In the second passage, the authors show how Clarkson and the abolitionists fought their fights. It was all about making things <em>public</em><em>, </em>educating the blind. By helping people understand and see the reality of the slave trade, they started a revolution in people's opinion. One was no longer indifferent after <em>Clarkson's speeches and the testimonials he published</em>. The people rose against the torture.
