Incomplete question. I assumed you are referring to the discussion questions about the book, "Born a Crime" by Trevor Noah.
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember, in literature, an event is termed as ironic especially when the event or action that occurred is unexpected or contrary to what one naturally expects.
It became ironic when only after Trevor's encounter with Babiki, did he discover that he didn't speak the language his date spoke. In other words, he understood English, but she didn't. So all efforts to take her to the prom were futile. This point was made clear when we read,
"...“Your date. She does not speak any English.”
“That’s not possible...
“Of course I have—or, wait…have I?”
I started flashing back through all the times I’d been with Babiki, meeting at
her flat, hanging out with her friends, introducing her to Abel. Did I talk to her then? No. Did I talk to her then? No."
