Answer:

The correct is Mr. Covey's attempts to break Douglass's will with oppressive violence only serve to inspire Douglass to seek his freedom.

Explanation:

  Irony is a tool used to describe a situation where something other than what is expected to happen or be said, happens or is said.

Situational irony is a type of irony where someone expects something to happen, but something intervenes in this and the opposite ends up happening.

That is what happens when Mr. Covey tries to repress Douglass all the time through violence, so that he is afraid and never reveals himself. The irony of this situation is that by doing this, it achieves the opposite which is that Douglass takes courage to fight for his freedom.

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

The river is very clean.
