PLZ HELP FAST 30points Read this excerpt from Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll.

“That would never do, I'm sure,” said Alice: “the governess would never think of excusing me lessons for that. If she couldn't remember my name, she'd call me ‘Miss!’ as the servants do.”

“Well, if she said ‘Miss,’ and didn't say anything more,” the Gnat remarked, “of course you'd miss your lessons. That's a joke. I wish YOU had made it.”

“Why do you wish I had made it?” Alice asked. “It's a very bad one.”

But the Gnat only sighed deeply, while two large tears came rolling down its cheeks.

“You shouldn't make jokes,” Alice said, “if it makes you so unhappy.”

Then came another of those melancholy little sighs, and this time the poor Gnat really seemed to have sighed itself away, for, when Alice looked up, there was nothing whatever to be seen on the twig, and, as she was getting quite chilly with sitting still so long, she got up and walked on.

How does Lewis Carroll’s use of opposites appear in this excerpt?

Alice says that her governess would never excuse her from her lessons, even if she did not have a name.

The gnat jokes that Alice would have to miss her lessons if the governess called her “Miss.”

The gnat makes jokes, but they seem to cause him unhappiness rather than joy.

The gnat disappears after he lets out one last sigh and Alice looks up at the tree.
