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

Answers

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.

b. Like the time i got into an argument with my boss.
c. Looking over the fence.
d. Up all night long sick with a cold

Answers

a. carol seemed happy and excited today
It's this one because the last two don't have subjects, and a sentence can't be a sentence without a subject.
B has a subject, but the reason it isn't the answer is because it is a dependent clause. this is an incomplete thought.
    Your answer would be A. Carol seemed happy and excited today.

I need help Which best describes Don Quixote? A.
He is a talented young person with great potential.

B.
He is a kind old man with a wild imagination.

C.
He is a well-trained knight who bravely faces dangerous situations.

D.
He is a selfish old man who is interested only in finding glory and fame for himself.

Answers

Given that Don Quixote was a humorous story, I can't fully agree with any of these, though the one who comes closest is B, as none of the situations were actually dangerous, though I am not certain how old he actually was.
D.) because in the book the author is writing in the context that our protagonist is  almost day dreaming about the old days of feudalism and presents the idea that maybe modernization is dangerous. The feudal system is primitive yes but is known. If we advance it could be disastrous. He is kind and spend most of the time pursuing a fine lady, who is actually a low-classes maid, so D is the best answer.

Read this excerpt from James Baldwin‘s “notes of a native son”But I knew that it was folly, as my father would have said, this bitterness was folly. It was necessary to hold onto the things that mattered. The dead man mattered, the new life mattered; blackness and whiteness did not matter; to believe that they did was to acquiesce in one’s own destruction. Hatred, which could destroy so much, never failed to destroy the man who hated and this was an immutable law.

Which sentence best explains how Baldwin conveys his ideas on hatred and acceptance in this excerpt?
A. He excepts that hatred destroyed his father and vows not to succumb it.
B. He accepts the hating discrimination of any kind is the best way to live.
C. He accepts that his father was right about the hatred and it’s effects.
D. He accepts that hatred can destroy and skin color is unimportant.

In line 44, ‘“drollery”’ most likely means(A) boredom (B) contention (C) sadness (D) dark absurdity (E) insanity Passage 3. Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness “I left in a French steamer, and she called in every blamed port they have out there, for, as far as I could see, the sole purpose of landing soldiers and custom- house offi cers. I watched the coast. Watching a coast as it slips by the ship is like thinking about an enigma. Th ere it is before you—smiling, frowning, inviting, grand, mean, insipid, or savage, and always mute with an air of whispering, ‘Come and fi nd out.’ Th is one was almost featureless, as if still in the making, with an aspect of monotonous grimness. Th e edge of a colossal jungle, so dark-green as to be almost black, fringed with white surf, ran straight, like a ruled line, far, far away along a blue sea whose glitter was blurred by a creeping mist. Th e sun was fi erce, the land seemed to glisten and drip with steam. Here and there greyish-whitish specks showed up clustered inside the white surf, with a fl ag fl ying above them perhaps. Settlements some centuries old, and still no bigger than pinheads on the untouched expanse of their background. We pounded along, stopped, landed soldiers; went on, landed custom-house clerks to levy toll in what looked like a God-forsaken wilderness, with a tin shed and a fl ag-pole lost in it; landed more soldiers—to take care of the custom-house clerks, presumably. Some, I heard, got drowned in the surf; but whether they did or not, nobody seemed particularly to care. Th ey were just fl ung out there, and on we went. Every day the coast looked the same, as though we had not moved; but we passed various places—trading places—with names like Gran’ Bassam, Little Popo; names that seemed to belong to some sordid farce acted in front of a sinister back-cloth. Th e idleness of a passenger, my isolation amongst all these men with whom I had no point of contact, the oily and languid sea, the uniform sombreness of the coast, seemed to keep me away from the truth of things, within the toil of a mournful and senseless delusion. Th e voice of the surf heard now and then was a positive pleasure, like the speech of a brother. It was something natural, that had its reason, that had a meaning. Now and then a boat from the shore gave one a momentary contact with reality. It was paddled by black fellows. You could see from afar the white of their eyeballs glistening. Th ey shouted, sang; their bodies streamed with perspiration; they had faces like grotesque masks—these chaps; but they had bone, muscle, a wild vitality, an intense energy of movement, that was as natural and true as the surf along their coast. Th ey wanted no excuse for being there. Th ey were a great comfort to look at. For a time I would feel I belonged still to a world of straightforward facts; but the feeling would not last long. Something would turn up to scare it away. Once, I remember, we came upon a man-of-war anchored off the coast. Th ere wasn’t even a shed there, and she was shelling the bush. It appears the French had one of their wars going on thereabouts. Her ensign dropped limp like a rag; the muzzles of the long six-inch guns stuck out all over the low hull; the greasy, slimy swell swung her up lazily and let her down, swaying her thin masts. In the empty immensity of earth, sky, and water, there she was, incomprehensible, fi ring into a continent. Pop, would go one of the six-inch guns; a small fl ame would dart and vanish, a little white smoke would disappear, a tiny projectile would give a feeble screech—and nothing happened. Nothing could happen. Th ere was a touch of insanity in the proceeding, a sense of lugubrious drollery in the sight; and it was not dissipated by somebody on board assuring me earnestly there was a camp of natives—he called them enemies!—hidden out of sight somewhere.”
