Select the correct text in the passage. Which phrase or sentence in this excerpt from Kurt Vonnegut's "Report on the Barnhouse Effect" demonstrates the use of irony?
One long bench had been brought in for the ten of us privileged to watch. The television screens showed, from left to right, the stretch of desert
which was the rocket target, the guinea-pig fleet, and a section of the Aleutian sky through which the radio-controlled bomber formation would
roar,
Ninety minutes before H-hour the radios announced that the rockets were ready, that the observation ships had backed away to what was
thought to be a safe distance, and that the bombers were on their way. The small Virginia audience lined up on the bench in order of rank,
smoked a great deal, and said little. Professor Barnhouse was in his bedroom, General Barker bustled about the house like a woman preparing
Thanksgiving dinner for twenty
At ten minutes before H-hour the general came in, shepherding the professor before him.

explanation:

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

i was wondering how to format this so that it is very obvious we are stepping out the of story.

firstly is a change in font from serif to sans workable? i also use dashes for a scene change. was thinking of using a different scene-changer too.

here’s a (shortened) example:

university – or what’s known as ‘uni’ in australia – were some of the best days of my life. where else do you get to potter around in a great location, have very little responsibility, learn lots of things, do lots of things and walk out four years later with a bonus – a degree!

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.

next normal paragraph continues here…

(sorry couldn’t show the fonts in this comment field)

too much?

i literally just read the book and studied it for months so i could you, but i need to know where these questions are coming from. they are too general.
