Irony is when you expect something but the opposite occurs.
From these answers, "When an event is the opposite of what is expected" is the correct answer. For example, a lion is killed and eaten by a zebra.
You would expect the lion to win, but with irony, the opposite occurs.

Since these terms are not concrete, they are abstract.
