What is ironic about what happens to Hauchecorne in "The Piece of String"?

English

Leno4ka [110]3 years ago

Answer: C. His reputation for clever dealing betrays him when he tells the truth.

The statement in letter c shows irony because it presents contrasting events. Mr. Hauchecorne is a clever person  however the irony strikes on him when nobody believes him and makes fun of his cleverness when he said the truth about the string.
