Question

Mario is writing about a nervous teenager named Jack trying his first stand-up comedy routine ever in front of an audience. But rather than choosing a predictable setting for this story, such as a comedy club, Mario decides to set the scene at Jack's grandmother's funeral. Mario's unpredictable setting is an example of what literary technique? Ο Α. juxtaposition B. flashback C. foreshadowing O D. metaphor​

Answer 1

A. Juxtaposition

Step-by-step explanation:

Its definition is literally:

the fact of two things being seen or placed close together with contrasting effect:

"the juxtaposition of these two images"

Answer 2

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Juxtaposition means placing two things side by side so as to highlight their differences. Writers use it for rhetorical effect. Writers juxtapose divergent elements frequently: wealth and poverty, beauty and ugliness, or darkness and light. In this case, it would be juxtaposition because it is used to compare a comedy club to something serious, which is his grandmother's funeral.
