I'm so glad the air conditioner broke on a day where the temperature only hit 100 degrees. What is the verbal irony in this statement? Who wouldn't be glad to have the air conditioning break on such a hot day? No one would be glad to have no air conditioning on such a hot day. The air conditioning breaking was an unexpected outcome. Air conditioning on such a hot day won't have an impact.

Sagot :

The verbal irony is the fact that you wouldn't actually be happy about the air conditioner breaking, but it highlights the tragedy of the situation

Answer: A) No one would be glad to have no air conditioning on such a hot day.

Explanation: An irony is a statement or a situation that seems contradictory when we compare it with what the audience or the characters are expecting to happen. It usually has a humorous effect or it helps to criticize an aspect of society. In the given sentence we can see a clear example of an irony because saying "i'm so glad" when referring to the air conditioning breaking in a specially hot day, is a contradiction.
