<span>C) [A]nd when Joy had to be impressed for these services, her remarks were usually so ugly and her face so glum that Mrs. Hopewell would say, “If you can’t come pleasantly, I don’t want you at all,” to which the girl, standing square and rigid-shouldered with her neck thrust slightly forward would reply.

Irony is when something is stated but it actually means the opposite. In this case Joy's name means happy, energetic, and positive. However, she is described as having ugly remarks and a glum face. Her behavior is not indicative of a joyous person as her name suggests she is. </span>
