Question text

The term “irony” means “an outcome or act opposite or other than what should be expected in a situation.”

Irony is often associated with sarcasm and wit, such as asking the fan of a band how she liked a concert, and the reply being, “Oh, it was horrible.  I loved it!”

Situational irony is often used by authors to point out things in life that are problematic.

Consider the paragraph where Felix is teaching Safie English from Volney’s Ruins of the Empires.  What is an ironic point in this paragraph?

Select one:

[removed]a. Felix states he chose the book because the style is “framed in imitation of eastern authors,” to help Safie who is of Eastern descent, yet it talks about “slothful Asiatics.”

[removed]b. Both the creature and Safie wept over “the hapless fate of [the American hemisphere’s] original inhabitants.”

[removed]c. The book is fiction, yet it gives “insight into manners, governments, and religions of the different nations of earth.”

[removed]d. The creature would not have “understood the purport of this book” without Felix giving “very minute explanations.”
