Question

What type of irony is present? When this movie opens, we see a town and the setting appears to be early-Colonial America (i.e. the Puritans). The town is attacked regularly by creepy rat-like monsters in red cloaks. One of the members of the town falls very ill, and they need to send someone to another town for medical supplies. They choose to send a blind girl in the town, who leaves on her journey, having to run from the monsters. When she reaches the main road, a truck picks her up and we realize that the setting is not early-American but present day!

Answer 1

Situational Irony.

Step-by-step explanation:

The situational irony is a literary device that is defines the occuring of a situation opposite to what was expected. The situational irony forms a twist by taking a turn in the expectations of a situation to happen. The audience or the readers may expect something else to happen than what occured.

In the given statement, the irony that is present is 'situational irony.' The sentence exemplifies situational irony as we can see a twist in the end when everyone was expecting the situation is taking place in an early-Colonial America, it was happening in the present day.

So, the correct answer is the situational irony.
