Answer Details
The play on words for literary effect is called a pun.

The pun plays on the multiple meanings of the phrase to create a humorous effect.

Question 6 Report
An essential features of drama is___________
Answer Details
One essential feature of drama is conflict. Conflict is a struggle between opposing forces or characters, and it creates tension and drama in the plot. It can be external, such as a physical battle, or internal, such as a character's internal struggle with a decision. Conflict drives the action of the play and keeps the audience engaged. It can create suspense and make the audience emotionally invested in the outcome. Without conflict, a play would be boring and lack tension. Soliloquy, irony, and aside are other features of drama, but they are not as essential as conflict. Soliloquy is a character speaking aloud to themselves, revealing their thoughts and feelings to the audience. Irony is a situation where the opposite of what is expected happens. An aside is a character speaking directly to the audience or to another character but not meant to be heard by the other characters on stage. While these features can add depth and complexity to a play, they are not necessary for it to be considered a drama. Conflict, on the other hand, is a crucial component of any dramatic work.
Question 7 Report
"Its a matter of sad joy" Iillustrates__________
Answer Details
The expression "It's a matter of sad joy" illustrates an oxymoron. An oxymoron is a figure of speech that combines two contradictory or opposite terms in a single phrase or expression. In this case, the words "sad" and "joy" are two antonyms or opposite terms that are juxtaposed in the same sentence, creating a contradictory effect.

It is possible to experience both emotions simultaneously, and this phrase acknowledges that complexity. Therefore, the phrase "It's a matter of sad joy" is an example of an oxymoron, which highlights the contradictions between opposing concepts, in this case, sadness and joy.
