The sentences in this excerpt of "Editha" that have an ironic tone are:

""To think of your having such a tragedy in your life!"

This sentence is ironic because Editha brought her tragedy on her own: the only reason her fiancé is dead, which lead to an argument with his mother, is because she insisted that he went to war, even threatened to end the engagement if he didn't.

" But when you consider how much this war has done for the country!"

This has an ironic tone because wars are never positive for a country. They represent a loss of life and a heavy weight in the economy.

What I am supposed to do?
Natali5045456 [20]
A dependent clause is a group of words with a subject and a verb, but doesn't make much sense on its own. A lot of times, especially in a sentence with a comma, you can split the sentence and see if it makes any sense. 

6. "Before we hiked"
7. "When we go on nature field trips."
8. "Since John was an expert of volcanoes"
9. "If you want to see something closer."
10. "After a volcano erupts"

None of those answers make sense as independent sentences, which is how you can tell they're dependent clauses; they depend on the other part of the sentence.
