Which excerpt is an example of situational irony in Saki’s "The Storyteller”?
“Most of the aunt’s remarks seemed to begin with ‘Don’t,’ and nearly all of the children’s remarks began with ‘Why?’ The bachelor said nothing out loud. ‘Don’t, Cyril, don’t,’ exclaimed the aunt, as the small boy began smacking the cushions of the seat, producing a cloud of dust at each blow.”
“The frown on the bachelor’s face was deepening to a scowl. He was a hard, unsympathetic man, the aunt decided in her mind.”
“She repeated the line over and over again in a dreamy but resolute and very audible voice; it seemed to the bachelor as though some one had had a bet with her that she could not repeat the line aloud two thousand times without stopping.”
“‘It’s the stupidest story I’ve ever heard,’ said the bigger of the small girls, with immense conviction. “‘I didn’t listen after the first bit, it was so stupid,’ said Cyril.”
Answer:
A. “Most of the aunt’s remarks seemed to begin with ‘Don’t,’ and nearly all of the children’s remarks began with ‘Why?’ The bachelor said nothing out loud. ‘Don’t, Cyril, don’t,’ exclaimed the aunt, as the small boy began smacking the cushions of the seat, producing a cloud of dust at each blow.”

Discuss the theme "Sacrifice is a virtue to be valued" as it relates to "Gift of the Magi." Provide evidence from the story that supports this theme.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
When we read the story "Gift of the Magi." written by American author O. Henry in 1905, the essence of the story is Della and Jim, wife and husband that are thinking about what to give as a Christmas present to each other, They are a poor couple and do not have enough money to buy Christmas gifts. So they both have to make sacrifices. She sold her long hair and Jim, the husband, sold his watch to buy combs for Della's' hair.
So yes, the moral of the story is that "Sacrifice is a virtue to be valued." When someone loves another "special" one, you make sacrifices in order to make him or her happy. No matter the circumstances. And that is what these couples do. Their intentions were good. They both got rid of something valuable in order to make the other happy with a present. And that counts!
Answer:
In the gift of the Magi, both Della and Jim sacrifice their most prized possessions for each other. When Christmas is right around the corner, Della has no money to buy her husband an amazing gift. She explains how although neither she nor Jim have a lot of money, they do have two things they are proud of. For Della, it's her beautiful hair, and for Jim, it's his family heirloom, a watch. Della sacrifices her hair and sells it in order to get Jim the perfect gift, a chain that is to match with his watch. When Jim finally comes home for Christmas, he is surprised by how she cut her hair off. it turns out that Jim too sacrificed his watch to get her the perfect gift as well. He got her a beautiful set of hairbrushes that cost him a fortune. But now, Della has no hair to brush, and Jim no watch to match the chain with.
(50 POINTS!! URGENT) In 500 words, describe three different financial decisions and their opportunity costs.
(DO NOT GIVE PLATO ANSWER)
Answer:
You decide to spend $80 on some great shoes and do not pay your electric bill. The opportunity cost is having the electricity turned off, having to pay an activation fee and late charges. You might also have food in the fridge that gets ruined and that would add to the total cost.
Caroline has $15,000 worth of stock she can sell now for $20,000. She wanted to wait two months because the stock was expected to increase. She decides to sell now. The opportunity cost would be determined in two months and would be the difference between the $20,000 and the price she would have gotten if she sold the stock then
Mr. Brown makes $400 an hour as an attorney and is considering paying someone $1000 to paint his house. If he decides to do it himself, it will take four hours. His opportunity cost for doing it himself is the lost wages for four hours, or $1600.
The three different financial decisions which are person would make and the opportunity cost are:
Spending $100 on a new Nike shoe and the opportunity cost is failing to pay for your electricity billSelling off your crypto investment of $1000 that was expected to increase in value in a month's time. The opportunity cost is the expected profit in one monthDeciding to paint your own home yourself instead of hiring a painter who would have cost $200. The opportunity cost is your time spentOpportunity cost is known as a foregone alternative and is usually used together with scale of preference where the most important needs are attended to and the least important ones are left out.
The least important needs which are left out are the opportunity cost.
With this in mind, we can see that from the given financial decisions, there is the purchase of things which are considered most important to the user who had foregone alternatives.
These foregone alternatives are the opportunity cost and we can see that from the first option, there was the opportunity cost of the electricity bill.
In the second option, the opportunity cost was the expected profit.
In the third option, the opportunity cost was the time spent by the home owner who decided to paint his house, instead of hiring a painter to do the job.

You enter a room.
2 dogs, 4 horses 1 giraffe and a duck are lying on
the bed. 3 chickens are flying over a chair.
How many legs are on the ground?
Answer:
8
Explanation:
all the things on the bed are not touching the floor, the chickens are not on the floor, but the chair and bed are on the floor, which both have 4 legs, adding up to 8 in total
The total number of legs on the ground are 8 legs.
Please note that you mentioned that 3 chickens are flying over a chair, so their legs are not on the ground.
Also, the 2 dogs, 4 horses, 1 giraffe and 1 duck are lying on the bed, so this means that none of their legs are on the ground.
WIth this in mind, we are sure that no leg of an animal is on the floor.
However, we should not forget that a bed has 4 legs in particular and the chair are also on the ground and they have 4 legs too.
With this in mind, we add 4 +4 which gives us a total of 8 legs on the ground.

20 pts. Read the paragraph. Then answer the question that follows. Perhaps you wanted pizza for dinner but were outvoted by the rest of the family who wanted chili. This is similar to what happens in a community. One person has to give up a right for the good of the group. Sometimes citizens' duties and rights conflict with each other. A good example is public protest. People have the right to meet in groups and share ideas. However, a protest can disrupt traffic or other normal activities. A city must provide extra police protection to keep people safe. Therefore, the city has the right to require permission in advance for a protest. The government must make laws to balance the rights of individuals and different groups of people. What type of connection is used in the paragraph?
Simile
Contrast
Category
Analogy
Answer:
An analogy is used
Explanation:
When the example of the family wanting chili but you wanting pizza was used, it was to clarify and explain how a community works making it an analogy. I'll also include the definition of an analogy.
Analogy: a comparison of two unlike things, typically for the purpose of explanation or clarification.
20) Choose the pair of words that completes each analogy. Use a dictionary as needed to help you with unfamiliar words-rafters:wood::
cart:harness
garage:car
hole:peg
garden:gnome
sidewalk:cement
Answer:
Sidewalk:cement
Explanation:
Rafters are made of wood, and sidewalks are made of concrete.
(got this right on my lesson quiz so I know)
The pair of words that completes each analogy. Unfamiliar words-rafters:wood::sidewalk:cement. Therefore, option D is correct.
What is an analogy ?Analogy is a verbal word that describes the cognitive process of transferring knowledge or meaning from one subject to another.
"Life is a box of chocolates," for instance. An analogy is a comparison used to illustrate a point or provide an explanation. For instance, "You never know what you're going to get in life—like it's a box of chocolates." When making an analogy, metaphors and similes are acceptable.
An essay from MIT claims that analogies can be used to explain technological advancements and other advances. People use analogies to understand change and identify parallels in the unexpected, whether in life or in business.
Thus, option D is correct.

A noun clause is a dependent clause that functions as a noun in a sentence. That means it can function as subject, object of a verb or of a preposition, or a predicate nominative. Noun clauses begin with words such as what, whatever, when, which, how etc.
