Answer:

Irony

Explanation:

Irony is a literary device that is a play on words where the implied meaning is opposite of the literal meaning of what was said or written. There is a deeper meaning to the words used, which is conveyed in the situation that is actually the opposite of the meaning of the words used.

For example:

Two men are carrying a large mirror and one of them slips and loses his grip. The mirror shattered on the ground, and the other man says, "Good job."

Do you see it? He says good job but he actually means the opposite.

Which principal part of the verb best completes this sentence? I confessed that I had __________ all the leftovers.
nalin [4]
Sometimes, reading things out loud can help a lot.  "I had eat all the leftovers."  Does that sound right?  How about "I had eating all the leftovers," or "I had ate all the leftovers"?  What about "I had eaten all the leftovers"?

If this doesn't work for you, think of it like this: you must always use the PAST PARTICIPLE after a form of the word "have."  For example, "I had given you the present."  Which of your options is most similar?  Most likely, the answer is "eaten": "I confessed that I had eaten all the leftovers."

Answer: B. Eaten
