Question

Victor was angry. Somebody had stolen $500 in cash from him, and when he found who it was, he was going to make the thief pay. He looked around for suspects and saw Gil smiling at him. It had to be him. Victor threw himself at Gil, ready to punch his lights out. Which ending to this scene would be most ironic?

Answer 1

Answer:

D. In the ensuing fight, Victor breaks his watch, which is worth over $1,000.

Explanation:

Irony is a rhetorical device used to express something that happens contrary of what was expected. in other words, when an expected action did not happen and the contrary happens instead, it is known or termed as an irony.

In the given scenario, Victor's anger in finding out that his $500 is missing resulted in the fight with suspected Gil. But an ironic outcome would be if the fight resulted in the damage of Victor's watch which is worth more than the actual amount for which he started the fight.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
