The instances of situational irony most likely occurred in the passage in:

The aunt expects the boy to accept her explanations, but he does not.
The aunt expects the boy to be interested in the cows, but he is not.

Situational irony occurs when the opposite of a particular expected outcome happens.

Although the passage is incomplete, i can infer that the passage you are referring to is from The Storyteller which talks about the conversation between a young boy and his aunt about the movement of sheep to another pasture.

Situational irony is used when the boy refuses to accept his aunt's explanation and also when the boy is uninterested in the cows.

nadezda [96]

Daisy bought two presents for the baby is a simple sentence.

Explanation:

A simple sentence is a sentence consisting of only one independent clause. An independent clause is a clause that can stand on its own, as it contains one predicate and subject and has complete meaning. The sentence Daisy bought two presents for the baby has one subject (Daisy) and one predicate (bought), and has no subordinate clauses. That's why it's a simple sentence.

Compound sentences are sentences consisting of two or more independent clauses that contain related ideas. These independent clauses are connected by semicolons or coordinating conjunctions (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so).

Complex sentences are sentences consisting of an independent clause and subordinate (dependent) clauses, which don't have a complete meaning and because of that can't stand on their own.

Compound-complex sentences consist of at least two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause.
