15. Considering Trevor's views about language and culture, how is his date with Babiki ironic?

Incomplete question. I assumed you are referring to the discussion questions about the book, "Born a Crime" by Trevor Noah.

Explanation:

Remember, in literature, an event is termed as ironic especially when the event or action that occurred is unexpected or contrary to what one naturally expects.

It became ironic when only after Trevor's encounter with Babiki, did he discover that he didn't speak the language his date spoke. In other words, he understood English, but she didn't. So all efforts to take her to the prom were futile. This point was made clear when we read,

"...“Your date. She does not speak any English.”

“That’s not possible...

“Of course I have—or,wait…have I?”

I started flashing back through all thetimes I’dbeen with Babiki, meetingat

her flat, hanging out with her friends, introducing her to Abel.Did I talk to her  then? No. Did I talk to her then? No."

your answer would be a verb. because they are "doing something"

to inform the reader that the text will take a second look at the grimms’ original tales
