Question

3. I thought that my mother was going to flip when Perry came over to eat at our house. To my surprise

she just ignored him, even though he wore his hat, put his elbows on the table, and rocked back in his
chair. I thought that she would go crazy while we ate. Perry pulled bones out of his mouth and put them
on his plate instead of spitting them into a napkin. To my astonishment Mom looked past this too. But
when Perry slammed a glass of root beer and burped the ABCs, she could no longer restrain herself.
"What a wonderful rendition of the alphabet, Perry, and how age appropriate? I'm impressed." Perry
wore a confused look, unsure of what her reaction had meant.
Which type of irony is used?
Explain your answer:

Answer 1

Answer: Verbal Irony

Explanation: Burping the ABCs isn't very mature to do, and Mom used sarcasm as the verbal irony.

Hope this helps!
