The correct answers are the following:

* Question 3: Sarcasm is a form of verbal irony. By definition, verbal irony occurs when a speaker speaks something contradictory to what he intends to say. Sarcasm is a type of verbal irony, among exaggeration and understatement.

* Question 4: “To add sensory details” is not a purpose of foreshadowing. Foreshadowing is a literary device used to provide the reader with a hint of what is to come later in the story, to create an atmosphere of suspense and believability in a story.

* Question 5: In "The Story of an Hour", the flashback letting us know of Mrs. Mallory's heart condition was used to develop character, since it proves her later death believable.

* Question 6: In a story written in the past tense, the best way to use verb tense in a flashback is to use the past perfect tense two or three times and then go into simple past.

* Question 7: When a fiction writer uses flashback, he or she is giving readers necessary plot and characterization details.

* Question 8: An unreliable narrator cannot be used to tell the story with objectivity.

* Question 9: An unreliable narrator can be used to “all of the above”.

* Question 10: A good reason to use a flashback is to add interest to a story.
