Answer 1
Answer:

The correct answer is A. My family tree is entitled The Smiths: One Hundred Years and Growing.

Explanation:

In grammar, the punctuation of a sentence mainly depends on the elements that compose it, in the case of the sentence "My family tree is entitled The Smiths One Hundred Years and Growing" this is a simple sentence which means this sentence is composed by a subject "My family tree", a verb "is entitled" and a complement "The Smiths One Hundred Years and Growing". Because of this, there is no need to place any punctuation mark between the subject, verb or complement as this would introduce unnecessary pauses and therefore is incorrect. However in the case of "The Smiths One Hundred Years and Growing" it is required to use a colon (:) after "The Smiths" considering in grammar the colon (:) is used to introduce an explanation, paraphrasing or a list of items related to a previous sentence, which is exactly the case of this sentence as "One Hundred Years and Growing" explains or paraphrase "The Smiths". Considering this, the sentence that is correctly punctuated is "A. My family tree is entitled The Smiths: One Hundred Years and Growing".

Which phrase refers to the contrast between what is expected to happen and what actually does happen?situational irony
dramatic irony
verbal irony
conflict and resolution

Answers

Situational Irony

Situational irony is the contrast between what is expected to happen and what actually does happen. It refers to a specific situation or event. Verbal irony is the contrast between what someone says and what is actually meant. Think sarcasm. Dramatic irony is when the audience knows a key piece of information that a performer on stage does not. An example is Romeo and Juliet during the balcony scene. The audience knows Romeo is listening in on Juliet's private thoughts, but she does not. A conflict is a problem and the resolution is how it is fixed.
Situational Irony is the best choice, its what actually happens vs what was expected to happen.
