What type of irony is shown in the following paragraph? “The rookie wide receiver has been the star of the team, leading the lea
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

The Irony which best describes the paragraph is Dramatic Irony.

Explanation:

Dramatic irony occurs when the reader knows something the characters don't.

In the excerpt, neither the team nor the audience knew that the Wide Receiver was Lucy Parker.

She had concealed her identity because she is female, and women were prohibited from playing American Football.

Other forms of irony are:

a) Definition Irony. This occurs when there is a contrast between what is expected and what happens. This almost looks like it. However, the other side of expectation is occurrence. When something occurs it is most likely in the know of the people involved. Recall that no one on the team knows that Lucy is a woman yet. hence this answer cannot fly.

b) Situational irony. This is almost like the <em>Definition Irony. </em>In this case, however, there is no expectation. Only a sudden occurrence of an event that was not expected to happen. If the team discovers that after winning the league that it was because of Lucy that they won, then a situational irony would have occurred. Remember,

Definition Irony is when Expectation is not equal to occurence.

Situational Irony is when there is no pre-expectation of the event that happened.

c) Verbal Irony. This is the easiest to grasp. It is used when exactly the opposite of what actually exists is spoken of. For example, John Cena is not a wrestler. Or it snows in summer.
