What is an example of verbal irony

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Many people believe verbal irony to be synonymous with sarcasm, but sarcasm is only one of the common types of verbal irony. It appears in four basic forms:

sarcasm (saying “Oh, fantastic!” when the situation is actually very bad)

Socratic irony (pretending to be ignorant to show that someone else is ignorant: "I'm confused, I thought your curfew was at 11. Isn't it past 12 now?")

understatement (saying "We don't get along" after having a huge fight with someone)

overstatement (saying "I'll die if I can't go to the concert!")

some creatures make sense of the world by making us see that sometimes life is not about money or power, it's about how we spend our time together with the people we love and care about. It's about caring for each other and helping each other when we are in trouble, or spending all the time you have smiling and laughing, creating all the memories we have together . we can all have peace if we are patient with each other

why bakugo is better than midoriya.
MY OPINION



Midoriya is obviously a crybaby and he looks boring so I don't like him, he is also wayyyyyy too nice

Bakugo is tough, he doesn't cry, he looks good, and he's mean to kids. obviously he's the perfect husband FOR ME, also when you get married or date someone, you don't want a child, you want a MAN/WOMEN. Midoriya acts like 6 year old, I hate him. but then again I've never liked softies so yea

B. Change the following sentences so that each contains the word unless.
1. You won't get in if you don't have a ticket.
2. The match will be off if the weather doesn't clear up.
3. I won't get the job if I don't pass my driving test.
4. If your English doesn't improve, you'll fail the exam!
5. You won't get there on time if you don't hurry.​

Answers

Answer:

You won't get in, unless you have a ticket.

Unless the weather clears up, the match will be off.

I won't get the job unless I pass my driving test.

You'll fail the exam, unless your Engl*sh improves!

You won't get there on time...unless you hurry.

Explanation:

Parenthesis = Added In

Brackets = Removed

For some of them, by removing the "center" of the sentence where it connects half one and two of the sentence, you can move unless around and add some new words/rearrange the old ones for it to make more sense...

i.e. You won't get in if you don't have a ticket.

     You won't get in {if} you {don't} have a ticket.

     You won't get in, (unless) you have a ticket.

..For others, however, the beginning or the entire sentence itself will have to be swapped or remove in order to add in "unless".

i.e. If your English doesn't improve, you'll fail the exam!

      {If} your English {doesn't} improve, you'll fail the exam!

      You'll fail the exam, (unless) your English improve(s)!

Do you see it?

Communism is suited for both.

Explanation:

Wealthy countries or countries that thrive economically aren't exempt from poverty crises. Countries in the first world that thrive off of capitalism and the exploitation of the global south, like the U.S, Canada, U.K or Australia, all have groups of people that are disproportionately affected by poverty, lack of healthcare, and other resources that would ideally be paid for in a "wealthy" country.

Writing a Procedural Text

Think about a procedure you would like to see implemented at school, work, or home. For example, you may want to change a
current procedure for how the school functions or how you perform a particular task or chore that currently doesn't seem
efficient or helpful. Think about a procedure whose implementation might require several steps. Imagine that you will give this
procedure to the person who oversees implementing it.

Part A
Describe the topic of your procedural text.
What is its purpose?
How does it guide individuals involved in this process?
If someone doesn't follow the procedure correctly, what will the result be?

Answer:

Well, you can think about something about your school that you think could work differently. For example, switching classes, lunch procedures, anything! Or at home, like how chores might be done. Anything that you can find a better way for can be an idea! Good luck.

The War with Next Door Now that you have finished the book, write an advert to persuade other people to read it too. Include what you like about the story, but remember not to give away the ending!

Answers

"The War with Next Door" is a book written by Phil Earle and presents a very entertaining and even inspiring story. Although the book was written for children, it is not surprising that a more adult audience can appreciate this work, mainly because of its relaxed, funny and unpretentious narrative that can involve any reader. The book shows how Masher, the neighborhood bully, changes his behavior little by little, when he gets involved in disputes with the girl who moved to the house next to his. This change by Masher is my favorite part of the book, along with a description of his plans to tease the girl, who manage to be very funny and stimulating, as well as light and fun.

SAVE SPIRIT WEEK
By David Pinsky

Teachers at Harrison Middle school feel that Spirit week should be canceled. They argue that it interrupts classes in many ways. Students may forget to do their homework as they concentrate on the Spirit Week themes. A few students skip classes and some go to a different lunch period. Students spend extra time in the bathrooms combing their hair and adjusting their outfits. Some students goof around in class and find it hard to settle down. If Spirit Week isn’t canceled, teachers warn that school will no longer be a good place to learn.

We, the students, feel that Spirit Week encourages us to be better students. Spirit Week is a way for us to show our creativity. For example, last year we had a 70’s theme. Students learned how a person dressed during this decade, and they tried to imitate those fashions. Such a theme teaches us about culture and history. Spirit week also gives us feelings of pride. At the end of the week, we wear our school colors and support our basketball team against our rivals, the Wildcats. Finally, we feel that Spirit Week teaches us how to work in groups and how to pan and organize an event. Everyone loves Spirit Week. We ask the Harrison School Board to consider our plea and save Spirit Week

Mrs . Flowers drove 100 miles in March. He drove 10 times as many miles in March as he did in January. He drove 3 times as many miles in February as he did in January. How many miles did Mr. Flowers drive in February?

Answers

Answer:

He drove 30 miles in February.

Explanation:

First, let's begin with the number we know - in March, Mr. Flowers drove 100 miles.

In March he drove 10 times as he did in January, which means we can divide 100 by 10 to find out how much he drove in January:

100/10 = 10

In February, he drove three times as he did in January. So we must multiply 10 by 3:

10.3 = 30

Therefore, Mr. Flowers drove 30 miles in February.
