Answer: verbal irony

Irony occurs when what appears to be true on the surface is in fact very different from the reality. In this case, the man claims that the place they are in "is a free country." However, he goes on to say that a man is his property. This statement is ironic because a place that has slaves cannot be a "free country."

amm1812

The question above is incomplete, the options attached to the question are given below:

A. Contended

B. Demanding

C. Harsh

D. Hectic


ANSWER

The correct option is A.

Douglass was a slave, who had experienced the harsh reality of been a slave. He has been moved around a lot, from one master to another master; and one of the masters he served were Mr and Mrs Auld. His condition as a slave improved a little bit when he first got to the home of the Auld's. Mrs Auld has never had a slave before so she was excited to have one and did not really know how slaves were treated by other white people. So she treated Douglass not as a slave but as a human being and even went to the extent of teaching him how to read and write. But all that stopped, when Mr Auld find out that his wife has been teaching Douglass how to read and write.

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Outreach

Explanation:

The three options provided are types of people i.e "children", "elderly", and "homeless". So, the fourth element too should be a type of people. Hence, "Finances", and "Conservation" are eliminated.

Out of "Students" and "Outreach", "outreach" would be better option;

Firstly because, children (age), elderly (age) homeless (location), and then fourth too should be about location i.e. "Outreach"

Secondly, because "students" is a sort of occupation, children may also be students. So, "Students" does not fit well with the three provided options.

First and foremost, supervisors have the ability to teach the job you will be doing.  This is so because, in order for a supervisor to provide good supervision in regard to determine whether those being supervised are performing well their jobs, supervisors will need to know how to perform the job themselves.   As such, because the will have most likely done the job well themselves in order to achieve a supervisory position, they would certainly have the ability to teach it to you.

Which of the following excerpts from Joseph Stalin's 1941 radio broadcast would best be classified as incendiary, or designed to
Trava [24]

D. The enemy is crafty, unscrupulous, experienced in deception.

This is the best choice. By calling the enemy crafty, unscrupulous, experienced in deception, Stalin is feeding the hatred the people have for the enemy. He is detailing the traits that are not desired and makes the people feel as though they are justified in their efforts to defeat the enemy. These details are also insulting to the enemy and could also be used to incite the enemy.

MrMuchimi

Answer:

Even though Tina told her to skip it, Lexie had a nagging feeling in her gut that if she missed her brother's spelling bee, he would be extremely disappointed in her as well as her parents. After a half an hour of going through the list of pros and cons she had written, she called Tina and told her that although she truly did want to go to the show with them, she thought that her family should always come before friends. Tina completely understood and when Jess heard the news, she was disappointed but came to terms with Lexie's decision. As soon as Lexie arrived at the spelling bee competition, her brother's face lit up with pure happiness and joy when he noticed that Lexie was there with their parents. <em>This was the right decision.</em> Lexie thought while she cheered on her brother. At the end of the championship, her brother won and they all went out to celebrate.
