Answer:
The correct answer is: situational, dramatic and verbal irony.
Explanation:
The irony is a literary device we use to express certain meanings by using language that signifies the opposite, to indicate a higher negative implication through the positive wording.
There are three types of irony: dramatic, situational, and verbal.
Dramatic irony represents the situation when the audience understands what is happening in a certain situation better than the characters. The best example of this type of irony can be found in Shakespeare's <em>Romeo and Juliet</em> when Romeo dies because he believes Juliet is dead.
Situational irony occurs when some action has the opposite result from what is expected.
For example:
John realizes it's his wife's birthday. He goes to buy her a present, and after buying it, he realizes the birthday was three days ago.
Verbal irony occurs when the speaker says the opposite of what he/she thinks.
For example:
The cousin you hate is coming to see you and you are saying: <em>What a nice surprise</em>!

Answer:
As much as water is an endangered resource, we cannot live without it.
Explanation:
A compound sentence is a sentence that has two independent clauses, meaning there should be a conjunction to connect the two clauses (FANBOYS) or a semicolon.
A complex sentence has one independent clause and one dependent clause.
Note that independent clauses can stand alone as a sentence, meaning they have both a subject and a predicate.
On the other hand, a dependent clause can not stand alone as a sentence, has both a subject and verb, and will most often start with a subordinating conjunction.
<u>We have the sentence:</u>
Water is an endangered resource and we cannot live without it.
<u>We can make it:</u>
As much as water is an endangered resource, we cannot live without it.
As much as is the subordinating conjunction that makes the first clause dependent.
"We cannot live without it" is the independent clause.
You can remove "As much as" and replace it with any subordinating conjunction that makes sense, it's just hard to find a perfect replacement for the conjunction "and."
