Answer 1

The correct answer is OA. In Chapter 13 of “Invisible Man” by Ralph Ellison, the narrator makes a speech to help an elderly couple avoid eviction. However, the speech he makes only ends up hurting them because it draws attention to their situation and leads to their eviction being carried out more quickly. This is ironic because the narrator’s intention was to help the couple, but his actions ultimately had the opposite effect.
