What are the writer's purposes for using irony in "Arrangement in Black and White"? Select all that apply.

to ridicule the woman
to create comic effect
to emphasize the woman's contradictions
to undermine the seriousness of the story

Respuesta :

In my opinion, the correct options are A. to ridicule the woman and C. to emphasize the woman's contradictions. The anonymous woman is prattling all the time about how she holds nothing against colored people, while showing her own deeply rooted prejudices. She is ridiculed because she is completely unaware of her inherent racism; also, because she thinks she is doing an honor to both her host and especially to the Negro singer Walter Williams by being there, as a white woman.

Answer:

A + C
