Read the excerpt from the TED Talks presentation “I Am the Son of a Terrorist.” Another major turning point came when I found a summer job at Busch Gardens, an amusement park. There, I was exposed to people from all sorts of faiths and cultures, and that experience proved to be fundamental to the development of my character. Most of my life, I’d been taught that homosexuality was a sin, and by extension, that all gay people were a negative influence. As chance would have it, I had the opportunity to work with some of the gay performers at a show there, and soon found that many were the kindest, least judgmental people I had ever met. Which option identifies the rhetorical feature used to highlight Zak Ebrahim’s misconception about being homosexual? irony

diction
