Excerpt from The Catching of Unshelled Fish
Olive Green (Myrtle Reed)
2 An unshelled fish is lively and elusive past the power of words to portray, and in this undoubtedly, lies its desirability.
People will travel for two nights and a day to some spot where all unshelled fish has once been seen, taking $59.99 worth of
fishing tackle, 'marked down from $60.00 for to-day only, rent a canoe, hire a guide at more than human life is worth in
courts of law, and work with dogged patience from gray dawn till sunset. And for what? For one small bass which could have
been bought at any trustworthy market for sixty-five cents, or, possibly, some poor little kitten-fish-offspring of a catfish
-whose mother's milk is not yet dry upon its lips.
Why does the author say in paragraph 2 that the baby catfish (which she calls a "kitten-fish") has mother's milk not yet dry upon its
lips, when fish don't really drink milk at all?
A)
The author is joking about how young the catfish is.
B)
The author is presenting a little known fact about catfish.
C)
The author has her facts wrong and thinks fish nurse like baby mammals.
D)
The author is trying to see if the reader knows the truth about catfish.

When lawrence saw the posters for the circus hanging on the bulletin board, as he swept up the trimmings at slim's barbershop, he knew he would be taking his little cousins. they loved animals, and he was looking forward to seeing the smiles on their faces as the circus performers amazed them with their stunts. but sweeping up hair clippings didn't pay a whole lot. lawrence spent 45 dollars just getting tickets. but it was worth it to see his cousins' faces. the day finally came and everyone was excited as they walked into that big circus tent. but lawrence soon realized that he and his cousins would be thirsty and hungry. as they sat in their seats, the drink vendor walked by selling beverages. desperately thirsty, lawrence asked him how much a lemonade would cost, and the drink vendor said, "eleven dollars each." lawrence replied, "oh, that's it? just eleven dollars? what a great deal for one cup of lemonade. that's totally worth it." the drink vendor walked away. which type of irony is used?
