Which sentence in this excerpt from "In Another Country" by Ernest Hemingway is an example of irony?
My knee did not bend and the leg dropped straight from the knee to the ankle without a calf, and the machine was to bend the knee and make
it move as riding a tricycle. But it did not bend yet, and instead the machine lurched when it came to the bending part. The doctor said:" That
will all pass. You are a fortunate young man. You will play football again like a champion."

The correct answer is "You are a fortunate young man"

Explanation:

In this excerpt from "In Another Country", the narrator refers to a serious injury in his leg that seems to be the result of the war. About this, he explains his knee does not bend anymore even when he uses a therapy machine.

In this context, the doctor's words can be considered ironic (opposite from the reality or the expectations of the reader) because he tells the main character "You are a fortunate young man". This seems quite contradictory because the man has a serious injury in his leg, and he cannot use the leg anymore, which is the opposite of good fortune.

because it's a cool name

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
