Answer:

The use of words in writing or saying that is the opposite of what is really meant is known as verbal irony.

Explanation:

Verbal irony is when someone says or writes something but she meant just the opposite of what is really written or said, meaning the opposite of the literal word. It is employed by many writers in their literary works.

Examples may be like when someone has a bad day but then says "her day is definitely going great"

or when the place is messy or congested but then people say "you deserve an award for cleanliness"

or claiming the weather is perfect when in reality it is really raining cats and dogs.

An example of allusion
Natasha_Volkova [10]
The verb form of “allusion” is “to allude.” So alluding to something is the same thing as making an allusion to it.

For example:

Alluding to Dickens’s A Christmas Carol, this line means that the person is being miserly and selfish, just like the character Scrooge from the story.

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer: An interview with a self-described feminist

Explanation:

The source that'll be most effective in answering the research question depicted in the question will be "An interview with a self-described feminist"

Since the research question is about a modern feminist and feminism as a whole in all ramifications, the interview with the self described feminists will help answer the questions as the person will be able to give some vital information in feminism.

A biography of a farmer and a tour schedule for spice girls won't give the needed information as they aren't a good source for the research topic.
