“Ladies and gentlemen—” said the ballerina, reading the bulletin. She must have been extraordinarily beautiful, because the mask she wore was hideous. And it was easy to see that she was the strongest and most graceful of all the dancers, for her handicap bags were as big as those worn by two-hundred-pound men.What is ironic about this excerpt?
The ballerina is described as beautiful, but she is actually hideous.
The news bulletin being read on the television is about Harrison.
The ballerina is able to read the news bulletin flawlessly while wearing a mask and handicap bags.

Answer 1
Answer:

The fact that is ironic about this excerpt is this:

  • The handicaps devised to conceal the ballerina’s strength and beauty actually accentuate them.

What is an Irony?

An ironical statement is one that reveals the opposite of the intended meaning. In the text above, we see an example of irony because instead of the big handicap bag concealing the beauty of the girl, it actually highlighted it.

Also, although the ballerina wore a hideous mask, the narrator still guessed that she must have been beautiful. This is ironic because we might expect someone wearing something hideous to be ugly. So, option D is right.

Ghost: Upon my secure hour thy uncle stole, With juice of cursed hebona in a vial, And in the porches of mine ears did pour The leperous distilment; whose effect Holds such an enmity with blood of man That swift as quicksilver it courses through The natural gates and alleys of the body.

Answers

Answer:

The excerpt builds suspense and creates tension as part of the rising action.

Explanation:

Kate Chopin's novel "The Awakening" revolves around the character of Edna Pontellier and her struggle to get 'sexual' as well as personal awakening amidst the American south. The book deals with themes of self realization, acceptance, while also conflicting interests, positing the character even against her society and friends.

In the given excerpt from Chapter VIII, Adele Ratignolle implored Robert to leave "Mrs. Pontellier alone" which infuriated him. This scene between the two where things get serious and heated builds suspense as the story unfolds. It also creates tension as part of the rising action.
