Which statement best explains how irony is used in the passage?

A) An insect nearly microscopic in size is responsible for felling a forest of conifers.  

Explanation:

Remember that irony is a figure of speech in which words that are used intend to have a different meaning other than the literal one. A difference between appereance and reality is made. One situation is shown to have contradictory meanings.

In this case the forest is huge and one could think that to destroy it, it is necessary a huge object or animal. Instead a tiny, almost microscopic insect is the one responsible for it's felling. The author even emphasizes it's size by writing, "smaller than the period at the end of this sentence."

"get off of your lazy bum and come running with me or i'm dumping this pitcher of water on u " u say with a smile. she thinks your joking so she ignores you about 10 seconds later shes screaming wile water is dripping everywhere you say "here comes the second one! " then you here her say okay, your such a j e r k ! ill be ready in 5 put the pitcher down " she say in an angry tone. and you smile in victory

good enough?

1.creeping like a snail is a simile used in this poem and it means the child is going to school unwillingly./a child is unwilling to go to school.

2. man becomes very frail and loses his physical strength when he becomes old, so much that his leggings that used to fit him snugly when he was in his youth are now too loose for him to wear, and that his shank has shrunk so much that this worldly stage is too big for a feeble actor like him. although, 'his youthful hose' just refers to his leggings/pants/ to shrink from danger; to shrink from contact.

3.the words "sans" means "without." it is a french word that is often used in english even today. so he is saying that in the last age of a man, the man is without eyes, taste, or anything else. he also says that this is the "last stage of all" and that it is the stage that ends a man's "history."

hope this !
