Read the excerpt from "Harrison Bergeron."
And George, while his intelligence was way above normal, had a little mental handicap radio in his ear. He was
required by law to wear it at all times. It was tuned to a government transmitter. Every twenty seconds or so,
the transmitter would send out some sharp noise to keep people like George from taking unfair advantage of
their brains.
How is this excerpt an example of irony?
Handicapping intelligence contradicts expectations because intelligence is normally considered a positive
attribute.
Handicapping intelligence is pointless because determining whether one's intelligence is above normal is a matter
of opinion.
If George were really that intelligent, he would remove the device from his ear.
The mental handicap radio is incapable of correcting physical advantages.

there are two central themes in  the miracle worker: that the human spirit can triumph over even the most daunting of disabilities and that a dedicated teacher can transform the lives of those with whom he or she comes into contact. these inspirational themes have long been personified in the widely known true-life relationship between helen keller and annie sullivan, but  the miracle worker  also dramatizes collateral issues that extend beyond the particular case. underlying helen’s process of learning basic principles of what annie terms “obedience” (decorum, etiquette, and hygiene), there are more universal lessons of self-governance—the inculcation of self-restraint instead of willfulness, the development of self-discipline instead of self-indulgence. only when these lessons have been mastered can helen begin to acquire language—which, annie says, “is to the mind more than light is to the eye.”

i think the answer would mist likely be an adjective clause, because unhappy is an adjective.
