The correct answer is C. A situation in which what happens is the opposite of what was expected to happen

Explanation:

Irony is often classified into three types: verbal, dramatical and situational irony. In the case of the situation irony, this occurs when events have an unexpected outcome, which often means the opposite of what is expected occurs; also, situational irony occurs when characters, events, etc. are not in the way readers believe they should. For example, a character creates a precise plan to kill another but instead, he ends killing himself. Additionally, situational irony is used in literature to amuse readers or surprise them. According to this, the option that best describes situational irony is "A situation in which what happens is the opposite of what was expected to happen".

slava [35]

Answer:

2. The daisies danced in the rain ------- personification

3. Your eyes are like stars ------- simile

4. She is a monster ------- metaphor

Explanation:

1. Hyperbole: Exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally.

2. Personification: The attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something non-human, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form.

3. Simile: A figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid (e.g. as brave as a lion).

4. Metaphor: A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action in a way that isn't literally true, but helps explain an idea or make a comparison. ... A metaphor states that one thing is another thing. It equates those two things not because they actually are the same, but for the sake of comparison or symbolism.
