Answer:

A.

Explanation:

The irony that Mary Shelley used in the passage when Felix teaches Safie English was the choice that he makes in choosing the book "Ruins of Empires" by Volney. The book speaks about the "slothful Asiatics" about the wars, etc.

While Felix teaches English to Safie, the monster also learns the language. and while learning language he also learns about the vices of humans to each other.

The correct option is A.
