In "only daughter," which passage is an example of irony?

a. being an only daughter in a family of six sons forced me by circumstance to spend a lot of time by myself because my brother felt it beneath them to play with a girl in public.
b. i went upstairs to my father's room. one of my stories had just been translated into spanish and published in an anthology of chicano writing and i wanted to show it to him.
c. in retrospect, i'm lucky my father believed daughters were meant for husbands. it meant it didn't matter if i majored in something silly like english.
d. we'd have to let go of our flat, store the furniture with mother's relatives, load the station wagon with baggage and bologna sandwiches and head south. to mexico city.

1. the details that would clarify the authors purpose for writing would be after the "haley collected used soccer jersey and sent them to guatemalan children." part, he would say, "and you can also donate today to save ". so far in the text, you can see no such thing. if, near the end the author persuades you to donate to guatemalans, then you know that the author's reason to write is to persuade you.

2. what details would make the text more engaging is to see the guatemalan children's reaction to getting free jerseys.

3. the details that convey the author's attitude would be an opinion by the author, for example, if he said, "haley was a very nice girl " or, you can find the attitude by finding parts of haley's personality that he highlights. you can strengthen your tones by using more descriptive words, and simplify long sentences as much as you can.
