Read the excerpt from "the gift of the magi." "isn't it a dandy, jim? i hunted all over town to find it. you'll have to look at the time a hundred times a day now. give me your watch. i want to see how it looks on it." instead of obeying, jim tumbled down on the couch and put his hands under the back of his head and smiled. "dell," said he, "let's put our christmas presents away and keep 'em a while. they're too nice to use just at present. i sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. and now suppose you put the chops on." which best describes the use of irony in this excerpt? the excerpt is an example of verbal irony, as jim tells della to put the presents away. the excerpt is an example of dramatic irony, as the audience knows something that jim does not. the excerpt is an example of situational irony, as jim has sold the watch for which della bought a chain. the excerpt is an example of dramatic irony, as the audience knows something that neither one of the couple knows.

The answer is: The excerpt is an example of situational irony, as Jim has sold the watch for which Della bought a chain.

The irony is literary device that can be divide in verbal and situational, the verbal irony is when a word or sentence means something more that the literal or actual meaning, and the situational irony is when some events result a different way than it was expected, in this case the irony comes when you find out that Jim sold the watch, for which Dell bought a chain, to get money for the combs for Dell.

there on the beach was a struggling turtle.   around its bright green neck was a loop of soda can rings.   in order to the planet, i have made a few changes to my life.   the first change is reducing the number of straws used. the second change was to recycle.   finally, i have worked hard to clean up litter.   it is important to clean our ocean.

you may not think straws have a large impact but they do.   imagine for every straw you sip out of a poor, , adorable turtle is being harmed.   one way i chipped in to is by using metal straws.   these straws are reusable and inexpensive.   another change is simply turning down straws.   by refusing a straw, i’m the turtles one drink at a time.  

however, the ocean just doesn't have turtles.   there are lots of creatures that live there and are harmed by all the litter.   to prevent litter from growing it’s important to recycle.   for me, i have started to buy most goods that are made out of recycled material.   pura vidas, chacos, purses, and too many other items to even count.   plus, when you buy those products they give money to charities.   not only am i the environment, but i’m also feeling better about my self.   finally, i have worked hard to clean up litter.   it is important to clean our ocean.
