Select the correct text in the passage.
Which two sentences in the adapted excerpt from Mark Twain's "The Danger of Lying in Bed" are examples of verbal irony?
San Francisco is one-eighth as populous as New York; there are 60 deaths a week in the former and 500 a week in the latter-if they have luck.
That is 3,120 deaths a year in San Francisco, and eight times as many in New York-say about 25,000 or 26,000. The health of the two places is the
same. So we will let it stand as a fair presumption that this will hold good all over the country, and that consequently 25,000 out of every million of
people we have must die every year. That amounts to one-fortieth of our total population. One million of us, then, die annually. Out of this million
ten or twelve thousand are stabbed, shot, drowned, hanged, poisoned, or meet a similarly violent death in some other popular way, such as
perishing by kerosene-lamp and hoop-skirt conflagrations, getting buried in coal mines, falling off house-tops, breaking through church, or lecture-
room floors. The Erie railroad kills 23 to 46; the other 845 railroads kill an average of one-third of a man each; and the rest of that million,
amounting in the aggregate to that appalling figure of 987,631 corpses, die naturally in their beds!
You will excuse me from taking any more chances on those beds. The railroads are good enough for me.
And my advice to all people is, Don't stay at home any more than you can help: but when you have GOT to stay at home a while, buy a package of
those insurance tickets and sit up nights. You cannot be too cautious.

Plato i got a 5/5

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
