Question: 1 / 400

What type of irony involves events that turn out the opposite of what was expected?

Situational

Situational irony involves events that turn out the opposite of what was expected. This is different from dramatic irony, where the audience is aware of a situation that the characters are not. Verbal irony involves saying something but meaning the opposite. Option D, "osmic," is not a valid type of irony and is therefore incorrect.
