Select the correct answer. Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour" begins with Louise Mallard receiving the news of her husband's death, and it ends with her husband receiving the news of Louise's death. What narrative technique does Chopin employ here? A. flashback B. situational irony C. foreshadowing D. exposition

B. Situational irony

Explanation:

Situational irony is a literary tool used in making a different outcome from the expected outcome. It occurs when there's differences in expectation of what is to happen and what happened. In this case, Louise receives the news of her husband death which meant he was free from her wrath. The expectations of the way it would end at this point was very different from what then happened at the end which was the husband now receiving the news of Louise's death.

the correct answer is option d. the nature of democracy. on november 19, 1863, president abraham lincoln delivered his famous gettysburg address in gettysburg, pennsylvania. in his speech, rather than focusing on details of the war (soldiers, casualties, aftermath of battle), lincoln invoked the very nature of democracy, that power ultimately comes from the people, when stating, “government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish”. these words mean that democracy is a government by the people (citizens) in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by the people or by their elected representatives for the benefit of all citizens. the survival of democracy in the united states is one of the reasons why this speech so significant today.
