Question

which sentence from passage 2 uses irony to show a change in perception? a \she sat in one of my plush armchairs, raising a glass of ambrosia to her red lips.\ (paragraph 15) b \i stayed still as she stomped past me to the thrown - open window overlooking the sea.\ (paragraph 23) c \i unslung my bow and reached for the cursed arrow in my quiver.\ (paragraph 26) d \her tangled hair fanned out like the rays of the sun, and even the pool of saliva on her pillow was sweeter to me than the rarest honey—\ (paragraph 29)

Explanation:

To determine the sentence with irony showing a change in perception, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Describes a scene without irony.
• Option B: A simple action description, no irony.
• Option C: Action - related, no irony.
• Option D: A pool of saliva is usually unappealing, but here it's described as "sweeter than the rarest honey". This contrast (irony) shows a change in perception (from typical view of saliva to a positive, almost reverent view).

Answer:

D. "Her tangled hair fanned out like the rays of the sun, and even the pool of saliva on her pillow was sweeter to me than the rarest honey—" (paragraph 29)
