"we have been here two weeks, and i haven't felt like writing before, since that first day. i am sitting by the window now, up in this atrocious nursery, and there is nothing to hinder my writing as much as i , save lack of strength. john is away all day, and even some nights when his cases are serious. i am glad my case is not serious! " this excerpt gives an example of which of the following? a) allegory b) hyperbole c) irony d) satire

The excerpt gives an example of the following:

C) irony.

Explanation:

After describing a whole lot of problems concerning creative block, which clearly affect the speaker (we can tell by the way those problems are described), the excerpt ends with: "I am glad my case is not serious!". That is pure irony, which is a rhetorical device used when one says something in a way that shows what was actually meant to be said was the exact opposite.

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.
