Answer: A) situational irony

Step-by-step explanation:

In this excerpt from the short story, Priscilla and the wimps, a member of a high school gang is bullying a boy named Melvin Detweiler. Priscilla stops the bullying and demands to see their leader whom she claims she does not know.

The leader, Monk Klutter, shows up and tries to impose himself but is instead locked inside a school locker by Priscilla. School then closes for a week due to the blizzard.

This is situational irony because one would not have expected what happened to happen. One would have expected that Monk Klutter would be out of the locker the next day but instead, school is closed for a week.
