The correct answer to what would this situation exemplify is B. Irony.

When, after already struggling, the man succeeds in building a fire only to have it destroyed buy snow that suddenly falls from a tree without any apparent reason, but only by destiny's force, an example of irony can be observed. An irony can be a synonym of mockery or satire. It is, by definition, "a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects". The man in the story probably felt relieved after struggling and being able to build a fire and overcome his obstacles, and the last thing he must have expected at the moment would be the fire's destruction. It configures a mockery or satire event orchestrated by a destiny that must have shattered the man's expectations. Therefore, the correct answer would be B. Irony.

The correct answer couldn't be A. Falling action, because a falling action is a moment in a story right after the climax and right before the end. The climax is the resolution of the main problem in a story. The situation presented doesn't show a resolution to the man's problems, on the contrary, which doesn't allow it to exemplify the moment of falling action. Thus, the correct answer couldn't be A. Falling action.

The correct answer couldn't be C. Conflict, because a conflict shows the contrast or disagreement between two forces, usually a protagonist and an antagonist. In the situation presented, there is only a man struggling with destiny's mischief, but there is no sign of an element that would involve two instances in a disagreement or even the presence of obstacles that should be overcome. Actually, after having fallen into the water and overcoming an obstacle, the man was surprised by an unexpected situation, which configures irony. Hence, the answer couldn't be C. Conflict.

The answer couldn't be D. Imagery, because an imagery is a descriptive or figurative language work that conveys visual symbolism. There is no apparent symbolism in the situation presented, just its rawness, which is very real. There isn't figurative language in the situation. Therefore, the answer couldn't be D. Imagery.

When i was young enough to still spend a long time buttoning my shoes in the morning, i'd listen toward the hall: daddy upstairs was shaving, in the bathroom, and mother downstairs was frying the bacon. they would begin whispering back and forth to each other up and down the stairwell. my father would whistle his phrase, my mother would try to whistle, then hum hers backi drew my buttonhook in and out and listened to it -know it was "the merry widow." the difference was, their song almost floated with laughter. how different from the record, which growled from the beginning, as if the victrola were only slowly being wound up. they kept it running between them, up and down the stairs where i was now just about ready to run clattering down and show them my shoes. what is the effect of the parallelism used in the above excerpt? it establishes the rhythm of a duet to echo the song. it expresses the same ideas. it mirrors opposite ideas. it is a paradox.
