Answer 7

IDK if this is going to help but I believe this just gives out a definition that somwhat could relate to the story. Here it is:
Verbal irony is someone saying something, but meaning something else, like, "I love you." While saying it in a hateful or spiteful manner.

Situational irony is when the result of an action is different from what you want or expected to happen. Such as, you go to shoot someone, but you miss and the bullet bounces around before killing you.

Answer 11

Situational irony is when something happens that is the reverse of what is expected. So I believe the situational irony would be when the emperor went out into the kingdom in the nude,and the people, instead of telling him that he was naked, told him that his clothes were amazing and beautiful.
