Verbal irony is the use of words that express one thing with the intention of expressing the opposite.
In the options that were given, we can see examples of verbal irony in the following cases:
After finally finishing your paper for history, you drop it in a puddle of water. “Oh great! That is just what I need!” you exclaim.
and
Your mom comes into your room and sees clothes strewn on the floor. “I think you’re going to win an award for cleanliness,” she says.
In both cases, the person means the opposite of what they said. You don't really believe the paper falling in a puddle of water is something good, as well as your mother doesn't really think your room is clean.
Answer:
When he is less than two years old, Beauty observes the hunt pass by. He sees the hare's violent death and the serious injuries of two horses and one man. Some of the horses say it serves the men right, but Duchess disagrees. She claims she never understood why men hunt, for "they often hurt themselves, often spoil good horses, and tear up the fields, and all for a hare or a fox, or a stag, that they could get more easily some other way." But, she continues, "we are only horses, and don't know." They learn the injured man is Squire Gordon's only son, George Gordon, and he is very seriously hurt. The black horse that was injured has broken his leg and is shot to put him out of his misery. Beauty's mother is saddened by this death, saying the horse was one she knew, a good one named Rob Roy. Later Beauty observes the funeral for Squire Gordon's son, who also has died of his injuries.
