Question

Which of the following is not an example of situational irony?

Answer 1

Answer:

D. A teacher running right into a door and falling on her face

Explanation:

Situational irony is a situation, outcome or an action that happens although that was unexpected from the known facts or premises.

It is completely unexpected for an experienced Olympic diver to make such a beginner's mistake and do the belly flop.

We could say the same for an 80- year old lady to be familiar with modern technologies, let alone use them and be a part of it.

Also, a ridiculously short man winning a high-jump competition is a rather unexpected outcome.

However, a teacher running right into a door and falling is simply a painful accident, because teachers aren't in any way less prone to accidents nor it is expected of them to never accidentally injure themselves.
