Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

c. irony

Explanation:

Irony is a literary device that you can identify when there is a discrepancy between what is said and what is meant, or when the outcome of a story, or statement, is opposite to what you expected; this outcome tends to be tragic or humorous, and it tends to catch our attention, makes the story memorable and helps us think about the theme (the central message) of the literary work.

This is the literary device being used in the passage provided: Veronica did her best to stay healthy during her vacation, however, despite her effort, she got sick the next day she arrived to the hotel! The outcome of this story turned out to be a funny one and just the opposite to what was expected.

Answer 2
Answer: The author is using irony because it is funny that Veronica takes care of her body and then she gets the flu.

What is the purpose of the Gettysburg Address?

Answers

Lincoln's main purpose was to urge everyone to honor those who had died at Gettysburg by striving to maintain the kind of nation imagined by America's founders.

President Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address on November 19, 1863.   in the Gettysburg Address, Lincoln affirmed the principle stated by the Declaration of Independence, that all men are created equal.  The massive number of casualties at the Battle of Gettysburg  gave impetus to Lincoln's words about preserving the Union and government of the people, by the people and for the people, but those ideas had been central to Lincoln's worldview before Gettysburg.  

His closing words of the speech are powerful:  

  • It is for us, the living ... to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced ... that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
The speech that everyone remembers Lincoln was not featured speaker that day the honor was to Edward Everett and both Lincoln and Everett traveled to Gettysburg to dedicate a national cemetery

World War I marked the end of monarchies in both Russia and Austria-Hungary.

What is Monarchy?

A monarchy is a form of government in which the monarch, a single ruler who serves as head of state, has the highest authority.

Food shortages and economic woes in 1789 sparked the start of the French Revolution. August 1792 saw the imprisonment of King Louis and his queen, Mary-Antoinette, and the abolition of the monarchy in September.

In the immediate aftermath of the war, the monarchies of the fallen German, Austro-Hungarian, and Ottoman empires were abolished, bringing an end to the reigns of Wilhelm II, Charles I, and Mehmed VI.

Therefore, Option (d) is correct.
