Question

Hey has anyone taken the English 10B Unit Two test yet? The Middle East and South Asia I test? I'm not looking for answers, I'm just really stuck and wanted to know what you guys thought of the test and if you can give me any pointers.

Answer 1

Answer 2

Answer 3

Answer 4

I really just need help with one question that I'm stuck on

Answer 5

Okay

Answer 6

It's question #4 on the test, with the passage from "The Happy Man" and it asks,
"Which of the following stylistic elements is used by the writer in these lines to create humor?"
repetition
incongruity
irony
ridicule

Answer 7

I think it could be irony. I cant copy and paste the question, but do you think you know which one I'm talking about?

Answer 8

Hmmm.... The Happy Man was a satire meant to mock the human nature. It depends on the passage. I would go with satire, but if I can't see the passage, there's really not much else I can do :/

Answer 9

I'm supposed to take this test today as well. Best of luck :)

Answer 10

Okay lemme type it in:
"The truth is, doctor, I've come in to see you because I'm happy!"
He looked at the doctor to see what effect his statement had had on him but noticed he was keeping his composure. He felt ridiculous. "I'm inconceivably happy..." he said in a tone of confidence.
He began to tell his story, but the latter stopped him with a gesture of his hand. "An overwhelming, indelible, debilitating happiness?" he asked quietly.
He stared at him in amazement and was on the point of saying something, but the doctor spoke first. "A happiness which has made you stop working," he asked, "abandon your friends, and detest going to sleep...?"
"You're a miracle!" he shouted.
"Everytime you get involved in some misfortune," the psychiatrist continued quietly, "you dissolve in laughter?..."
"Sir...are you familiar with the invisible?"
"No!" He said with a smile. "Nothing like that. But I get a similar case in my clinic at least once a week."

Answer 11

I think it might be irony
