Answer: verbal irony

Irony occurs when what appears to be true on the surface is in fact very different from the reality. In this case, the man claims that the place they are in "is a free country." However, he goes on to say that a man is his property. This statement is ironic because a place that has slaves cannot be a "free country."

What kind of complement is the word unique
Ber [7]

Unique means to be unlike anything else. When something or someone unique, they are one of a kind. It is often a very nice compliment when meant as a compliment. Sometimes unique can be used as a placeholder for a compliment when someone does not wish to insult the other person. If you think something is ugly or bad, you can say unique, because the thing or person can still be unlike anything else, even if it's not good.
