Which scenarios are examples of verbal irony? Select two options. Your best friend is concerned that you are not feeling well. “

You sound like you’ve nearly lost your voice,” she says. After finally finishing your paper for history, you drop it in a puddle of water. “Oh great! That is just what I need!” you exclaim. You are at the zoo when it starts to rain, and the elephants emerge from their stall. “The elephants seem to love the rain,” you say. Your mom comes into your room and sees clothes strewn on the floor. “I think you’re going to win an award for cleanliness,” she says. You explain to your little brother why you know that Romeo and Juliet will not turn out well. “It says at the beginning that they are star-crossed lovers.”

Verbal irony is the use of words that express one thing with the intention of expressing the opposite.

In the options that were given, we can see examples of verbal irony in the following cases:

After finally finishing your paper for history, you drop it in a puddle of water. “Oh great! That is just what I need!” you exclaim.

and

Your mom comes into your room and sees clothes strewn on the floor. “I think you’re going to win an award for cleanliness,” she says.


In both cases, the person means the opposite of what they said. You don't really believe the paper falling in a puddle of water is something good, as well as your mother doesn't really think your room is clean.

tankabanditka [31]

The detail that provides the most cultural context from the excerpt about the Cold War is the following: <em>There was also a sense of urgency. The Pentagon was worried that the shattered remains of the Soviet Union might be rebuilt before the United States. </em>That phrase gives the most cultural context reference about the Cold War as there was a constant tension between both powers. There were plenty of different possible scenarios in which either of them would win over the other one, including a possible nuclear war. The sensation of uncertainty was reigning through the Cold War era.

This excerpt belongs to the book called "Visions: how Science will revolutionize the 21st Century" written by American theoretical physicist Michio Kaku and first published in 1997.
