Irony is the use of words that are the opposite of their intended meanings. The example provided above is an example of;

  • Situational irony

The example provided above is known as situational irony. Situational irony occurs when the results obtained during an event are the opposite of what should be expected.

In the case of the English settlers described, situational irony is the case because the passage reported that they took good care of their teeth, but the findings from the archaeologists show that their use of tooth powders resulted in tooth decay.

How to do you make it summary?<br><br><br><br>​
vampirchik [111]

A summary is basically a recap or breif exploration of something. So if you were summarizing a book you would explain who the main character is, who the antagonist is and give a short explanation as to what the protagonist did to stop the antagonist.

Short example:

Mary had to steal the book back from the bad guy before he used it to destroy the Earth. She snuck around his base and eventually got to the main room where she had to fight the bad guy and escape with the book before his henchmen could catch up.
