Select the correct text in the passage. Which phrase or sentence in this excerpt from Kurt Vonnegut's "Report on the Barnhouse Effect" demonstrates the use of irony?
One long bench had been brought in for the ten of us privileged to watch. The television screens showed, from left to right, the stretch of desert
which was the rocket target, the guinea-pig fleet, and a section of the Aleutian sky through which the radio-controlled bomber formation would
roar,
Ninety minutes before H-hour the radios announced that the rockets were ready, that the observation ships had backed away to what was
thought to be a safe distance, and that the bombers were on their way. The small Virginia audience lined up on the bench in order of rank,
smoked a great deal, and said little. Professor Barnhouse was in his bedroom, General Barker bustled about the house like a woman preparing
Thanksgiving dinner for twenty
At ten minutes before H-hour the general came in, shepherding the professor before him.

3one of the biggest impacts a building has on earth is the energy it uses. currently, most of the world’s energy comes from burning fossil fuels. these fuels are dirty and when they are burned they pollute the air and water. one way to burn fewer fossil fuels is to reduce the amount of electricity a building has to use. passive solar heating, which uses heat from the sun, reduces the amount of fossil fuel used to heat buildings. passive solar heating requires a south-facing wall made of glass. when sunlight shines through the wall, it is collected and used to warm the building. another way green buildings reduce their electricity use is to install other energy sources. for example, some green buildings use panels that turn energy from the sun into useable electricity. which is the best summary of paragraph 3? a) fossil fuels are dirty and pollute the air and water. most of the world's energy comes from these fuels. b) the biggest problem of buildings is that they use fuel that is dirty for heating. they need to do something to be more energy efficient. c) panels that turn energy from the sun into electricity and passive solar heating can stop the burning of fossil fuels which pollute air and water. d) since fossil fuels are dirty and pollute the air and water, other technologies that pollute less and produce energy have been developed like solar energy and green buildings.
