What is the irony in the widow’s actions as shown in the passage? the widow insists that smoking is a mean and unclean practice. the widow declares a habit unfit for huck while having a similar habit herself. she is more interested in moses and other stories from the bible than huckleberry. she pretends to be a caring woman, but she only finds fault in huckleberry. the adventures of huckleberry finn by mark twain (excerpt) pretty soon i wanted to smoke, and asked the widow to let me. but she wouldn't. she said it was a mean practice and wasn't clean, and i must try to not do it any more. that is just the way with some people. they get down on a thing when they don't know nothing about it. here she was a-bothering about moses, which was no kin to her, and no use to anybody, being gone, you see, yet finding a power of fault with me for doing a thing that had some good in it. and she took snuff, too; of course that was all right, because she done it herself.

In which of the following excerpts from "the yellow wall paper" does author charlotte perkins gilman seem to mock the romantic belief in the supernatural? a. a colonial mansion, a hereditary estate, i would say a haunted house, and reach the height of romantic felicity—but that would be asking too much of fate! b. there is a delicious garden! i never saw such a garden—large and shady, full of box-bordered paths, and lined with long grape-covered arbors with seats under them.c. the color is repellent, almost revolting; a smoldering unclean yellow, strangely faded by the slow-turning sunlight.d. then i peeled off all the paper i could reach standing on the floor. it sticks horribly and the pattern just enjoys it!
