Read the following passage:
It was complete chaos. People had been living on rations
for so long that once the looting began, there was no
stopping it. I buried my hands in my pockets and put my
head down. I'd rather starve than steal. I mean, we're all
going to die- and pretty soon from the looks of it. I might
as well know that at least I lived honestly.
"Freeze. State your business."
It was a police megaphone.
"Uh... just heading to my sister's to see if everyone is
O.K."
The megaphone remained on. "Why isn't he running?"
"Looks suspicious." "Let's take him in."
What is one way the author uses irony to convey her message?
OA. By having the police arrest the narrator without further
explanation, she shows that those in power are corrupt.
OB. By having extreme rationing result in looting, she shows that
people will fight to survive against all odds.
OC. By having the innocent narrator arrested, she shows that the
society is very dysfunctional.
D. By having the narrator refuse to loot, she shows that moral
integrity can survive in a chaotic environment.
