Answer:

Sarcasm -------- Verbal Irony

Paradox -------- Situational Irony

Explanation:

The Definition of Paradox is: <em>a seemingly absurd or self-contradictory statement or proposition that when investigated or explained may prove to be well founded or true.</em>

Situational irony is when the outcome of a situation is totally different from what people expect, which is why it would be considered a Paradox because the storyline and the ending seem inconsitent.

The definition of Sarcasm is: <em>the use of irony to mock or convey contempt.</em>

Verbal irony is when your speaker says something that's the opposite to what they mean. Verbal irony may not always equal sarcasm because in most cases sarcasm is used to mock or attack someone, but in this case, Sarcasm is an example of Verbal Irony because it can also just be someone saying one thing while really meaning another. It isn't always used as mockery.
