Which choice uses a semicolon correctly to join two independent clauses?A)In the morning; I go jogging.
B)Skiing is fun; but snowboarding is better.
C)My sister and I love to cook; we spend hours cooking together.
D)My aunt went shopping; went to the mall.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Two clauses can be joined with a semicolon when they are both independent (they both have their subject and predicate and can stand on their own as a sentence). In option A, "In the morning" is just a phrase without no subject or verb whatsoever. In option D, the fragment after the semicolon lacks a subject, therefore it is not a clause. In option B, "Skiing is fun" and "snowboarding is better" are both independent clauses, but the semicolon cannot be combined with coordinating conjunctions like "but."
Answer 2
Answer: The third sentence (C) is correct. Both clauses in C can stand as a sentence in their own right.

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.
