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".

What is the appositive phrase in this sentence?
avanturin [10]
The answer is D, a beautiful place for a concert. The appositive is a noun or a noun phrase that renames the another noun right beside it. It is usually surrounded with commas, that is how it is mostly and most easily recognized. The answer cannot be A, because that is a part of a sentence, not a phrase. B is a noun phrase, but not appositive. C is just a noun. So we are left only with D, which is the correct answer.
