Question

read the excerpt from the diary of a young girl.

we started off immediately the first day sewing curtains. actually, you can hardly call them that, since theyre nothing but scraps of fabric, varying greatly in shape, quality and pattern, which father and i stitched crookedly together with unskilled fingers. these works of art were tacked to the windows, where theyll stay until we come out of hiding.

Analyze the context and tone

The excerpt describes Anne and her father sewing makeshift curtains from scraps of fabric. She describes them as being stitched "crookedly together with unskilled fingers."

Identify the use of irony or humor

Anne refers to these poorly made, crooked scraps of fabric as "works of art." This sarcastic, self-deprecating label is a clear example of verbal irony, demonstrating her ability to find humor in their difficult circumstances.

Evaluate the given options

• "where they'll stay until we come out of hiding": This is a serious statement about their situation, not humorous.
• "which Father and I stitched crookedly together with unskilled fingers": This describes the physical action and lack of skill, but is a literal description.
• "These works of art were tacked to the windows": This is humorous because she is calling poorly stitched scraps of fabric "works of art."
• "We started off immediately the first day sewing curtains": This is a factual statement about their schedule.
