The answer is D. The author supplies a rebuttal that quotes more current research. He quotes two sources, an article from 2009 that argues that cell phones cause too many distractions (the counterclaim that he wishes to disprove) and a poll from 2013 that reveals that 67% of high school instructors now encourage students to use phones in the classroom setting. The  second source serves as a counterpoint to the first, since it shows that high school instructors now view phones as a teaching aid instead of a source of distraction.

Answer:

The type of irony found in this excerpt is: situational irony.

Explanation:

Situational irony is a literary device consisting of leading the reader to believe a certain event / ending will take place and then unexpectedly changing the outcome.

The author describes Chef Kylie's dishes in detail. Readers get to know that his most acclaimed dishes all consist of meat - lots and lots of meat. With such a description, it is ironic for the author to, all of a sudden, reveal that the chef is actually a vegetarian. Most readers probably do not see it coming at all. Who would expect a vegetarian to used so much meat in their own cooking? Why would a vegetarian cook something they do not eat themselves? Readers are thus shocked by this revelation, and that is where the situational irony lies.

B. Add a hyphen between “twenty” and “seven.” Otherwise, it is written as two separate numbers, 20 and 7.

A. Delete the hyphen in “one-fourth.” You are counting the number of fourths, so a hyphen is not needed.

A. Add a comma after “trumpet.” This is called a serial comma, or an Oxford comma. Many people use it and some don’t. It is the comma that separates the second to last item in a list from the preposition before the last item.
