Which excerpt from "harrison bergeron" best illustrates irony? hazel had a perfectly average intelligence, which meant she couldn’t think about anything except in short bursts. there were tears on hazel’s cheeks, but she’d forgotten for the moment what they were about. and she had to apologize at once for her voice, which was a very unfair voice for a woman to use. her voice was a warm, luminous, timeless melody. a buzzer sounded in george’s head. his thoughts fled in panic, like bandits from a burglar alarm.

Which statement best summarizes this excerpt from leo tolstoy's the death of ivan ilyich? and in imagination he began to recall the best moments of his pleasant life. but strange to say none of those best moments of his pleasant life now seemed at all what they had then seemed—none of them except the first recollections of childhood. there, in childhood, there had been something really pleasant with which it would be possible to live if it could return. but the child who had experienced that happiness existed no longer, it was like a reminiscence of somebody else.
