Excerpt from Bear Country Tips - Yellowstone Today

Yellowstone National Park

A Fed Bear Is a Dead Bear

Do not leave packs containing food unattended, even for a few minutes. If a bear obtains human food even once, it often becomes aggressive about obtaining such food, and may have to be destroyed or removed from the park.

The heading A Fed Bear is a Dead Bear is intended to

A) confuse the reader by contrasting feeding with death.

B) use irony to change the audience's mind about a misconception.

C) urge the reader to kill bears by overfeeding them with human food.

D) convince readers to conserve bear populations through feeding them.

The correct answer is B: use irony to change the audience's mind about a misconception.

Explanation:

The heading "A Fed Bear is a Dead Bear" contains irony and its purpose is to explain to the audience that they should not leave food unattended, because of the bears. If bears obtain human food, they probably will be destroyed (killed) or removed from the park.

The author of the heading uses irony to explain to the readers how serious their actions might be for the bear's life, so they could pay attention to their food and preserve their safety and bear's life.
