What does the irony in these excerpts from “In Another Country” by Ernest Hemingway convey?
The doctor came up to the machine where I was sitting and said: "What did you like best to do before the war? Did you practice a sport?"
I said: "Yes, football."
"Good," he said. "You will be able to play football again better than ever."
My knee did not bend and the leg dropped straight from the knee to the ankle without a calf, and the machine was to bend the knee and make it move as riding a tricycle.
. . . In the next machine was a major who had a little hand like a baby's. He winked at me when the doctor examined his hand, which was between two leather straps that bounced up and down and flapped the stiff fingers, and said: "And will I too play football, captain-doctor?" He had been a very great fencer, and before the war the greatest fencer in Italy.
A.
The doctor, who is supposed to be sympathetic and helpful to his patients, does not really understand their suffering.
B.
Modern technology aided war efforts by providing horrific weapons, but it couldn’t help the soldiers.
C.
The war is ruthless and took away the things most important to the identity and happiness of both men.
D.
Despite facing the horrors of war, the soldiers are still able to keep a sense of humor.
Answer:
C. The war is ruthless and took away the things most important to the identity and happiness of both men.
Explanation:
Irony is when an expression means another thing, though, at times, it is used more for humor and empathy. In simple words, irony is the use of language to mean something quite the opposite.
In the given excerpt from Ernest Hemingway's In Another Country, the doctor's question of what they liked to do best before their handicapped condition helped the men remember what they liked. They did not like the war and no one wants to be handicapped 'intentionally'. So, it is ironic that the war took away the very thing they liked doing the most. And that source of happiness and identity was easily taken away from them by the war.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
Which part of persuasive speech analysis
does the following passage determine?
A chemist with a background in research
and medicine will be speaking.
A. Speaker's credentials
B. Speaker's bias
C. Setting of speech
D. Speaker's purpose

Explain 4 reason what are the causes for students to drop out from university
Answer:
While financial issues are probably the most common reason for dropping out of college, every student has their own reasons. Some unfortunately have family issues, a lack of support, or unexpected medical problems that are beyond their control.'
Financial problems.
Poor secondary school preparation.
The student is not sure or convinced with the major.
Conflict with work and family commitments.
Increasingly failing courses.
Lack of quality time with teachers and counsellors.
De-motivating school environment.
Lack of student support.
Answer:
Beyond any other signal, this is perhaps the primary predictor of student attrition. These financial problems are mainly due to a caregiver (either the student or a guardian) losing their jobs, which adds a psychological stress to a financial predicament.
For instance, according to Times Higher Education, 1 out of 4 college students in Germany broke off their studies early due to either financial problems, poor student professor relationships or lack of motivation.
Margerite McNeal. writer and editor, explains how this issue has turned more complicated in the United States due to student loans, as over 40% of student borrowers are not making payments on their loans, which adds to a vicious student debt cycle that pushes them out of school. She quotes former Secretary of Education Arne Duncan saying “The most expensive degree is the one you do not complete.”
According to Collegeview.com, some students “underestimate college costs and realize too late that they lack the funds to cover it all. Others decide they would rather be making money working full time than pursuing a costly degree.”
2. Poor secondary school preparation
Even though colleges and universities are addressing student’s lack of readiness they inherit from high school in areas such as language and mathematics, there is a point where students cannot cope or handle the workload anymore and leave school.
Margerite McNeal is very harsh at saying that, in the United States: “Higher-ed institutions point fingers at high schools for sending them underprepared students who drop out because they cannot keep up with coursework, but colleges and universities are not innocent victims. They can be doing more to help students succeed even before matriculation.”
It is not just the level of the degrees, but the mental attitude. In Spain, for instance, Times Higher Education points out that some people that enter university from vocational training “can have problems getting to groups with the theoretical side of their degree. Others are disoriented by the change from the structured school environment to the more autonomous university world.”
3. The student is not sure or convinced with the major
Any college teacher sees two trends here: either the major failed to meet the student’s expectations, or the major wasn’t the student’s first choice.
When asked about their major, a common phrase that freshmen and sophomore students in the United States tell teachers when they introduce themselves at the beginning of the year is:
“I am undecided.”
In Latin America, this is completely different. In countries such as Chile, 17 and 18-year-olds are virtually forced to pick a 4 to 7-year major, with almost no room to find themselves first.
Students in programs and universities with a low entry requirements threshol – such as social sciences – tend to have a higher dropout rate than majors that have higher requirements to enroll in the first place, such as medical degrees (which in Latin America begins at an undergraduate level).
This is gradually changing, as universities are slowly adopting college-mode baccalaureates and common core education to provide orientation.
4. Conflict with work and family commitments
This happens both in undergraduate degrees and postgraduate education. According to a study by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the main reason why of students dropping out of college in 2009 was this conflict of interest between school, the job and the family.
“Many students who drop out of college have to work while enrolled in college. They often find it very difficult to support themselves and their families and go to college at the same time. Many have dependent children and enroll part-time. Many lack adequate support from parents and student aid.”
While this is also a financial issue, this work-study balance has many other underlying problems. 3 out of 4 respondents said that work contributed to the decision to drop out, and 1 out of 3 said that balancing work and school was “too stressful.”

Which word best describes Aunt Bertha's tone?
Answer:
Critcal
Explanation:
She had no gowns, no jewels, nothing. And she loved nothing but that. She felt made for that. She would have liked so much to please, to be envied, to be charming, to be sought after.
She had a friend, a former schoolmate at the convent, who was rich, and whom she did not like to go to see any more because she felt so sad when she came home.
4. How does she feel after visiting her well-to-do school friend?
But one evening her husband reached home with a triumphant air and holding a large envelope in his hand.
"There," said he, "there is something for you."
She tore the paper quickly and drew out a printed card which bore these words:
The Minister of Public Instruction and Madame Georges Ramponneau request the honor of M. and Madame Loisel's company at the palace of the Ministry on Monday evening, January 18th.
5. What is the date of the evening reception
Instead of being delighted, as her husband had hoped, she threw the invitation on the table crossly, muttering:
"What do you wish me to do with that?"
"Why, my dear, I thought you would be glad. You never go out, and this is such a fine opportunity. I had great trouble to get it. Everyone wants to go; it is very select, and they are not giving many invitations to clerks. The whole official world will be there."
She looked at him with an irritated glance and said impatiently:
"And what do you wish me to put on my back?"
He had not thought of that. He stammered:
"Why, the gown you go to the theatre in. It looks very well to me."
He stopped, distracted, seeing that his wife was weeping. Two great tears ran slowly from the corners of her eyes toward the corners of her mouth.
"What's the matter? What's the matter?" he answered.
By a violent effort she conquered her grief and replied in a calm voice, while she wiped her wet cheeks:
"Nothing. Only I have no gown, and, therefore, I can't go to this ball. Give your card to some colleague whose wife is better equipped than I am."

at least 4 to 5 sentences, this is for my class writing assignment
Answer: I remember finding out that growing up could be demanding, rewarding, and tough because in my pre-teen years, I couldn’t make any actual friends because my low-self esteem and lack of confidence. It happened because I was being bullied, the more the bullies chant nasty words towards me, the more I started to believe it. Some assignments were hard and confusing, I began to stress out. However, because I had no one to talk to or spend time with, I focused on my assignments and began to improve some skills such as grammar, typing, art, etc. I managed to make some online/gaming friends, I don’t feel lonely as I did back then.
