Answer 1

As I reflect on my learning in this unit, I am amazed by how intricate and complex language can be. One reason I have difficulty identifying verbal irony is because it often requires an understanding of the speaker's tone and context. One way I use the relationship between words to find its meaning is by examining synonyms, antonyms, and the overall sentence structure. Finally, I find the best way to figure out the connotation of a word is to pay attention to the emotions and attitudes it evokes in different contexts. This unit has deepened my appreciation for the nuances of language and how it can shape our understanding of the world.
