b. paradox
c. irony

It can also be a difference between what can be expected to happen and what occurs. In this excerpt we can notice the use of irony because it says Shelby is a weather forecaster and it the very day she left, weather became rough, meanig it is ironic how the the first event conditionated the following.

Which term refers to a character’s excessive pride?katharsis
hubris
hamartia
lusis

Answers

Hubris refers to a character's excessive pride.

Answer:

B). Hubris.

Explanation:

The word 'Hubris' is derived from the ancient Greek context meaning extreme or excessive pride that brings about the destruction of the character. It is exemplified as 'hamartia'(tragic flaw) that makes the character impotent to recognize the reality that ultimately leads them to downfall. For example, Creon's excessive pride('hubris') and stubbornness lead him to failure in acknowledging his faults or follies and ultimately takes him to his demolition. Thus, option B is the answer.

Which form of the modifier best completes the sentence? Which of your three siblings laughs __________?

D?

Answers

Answer: D. most loudly
